pytest-xdist¶

Description¶

xdist: pytest distributed testing plugin

The pytest-xdist plugin extends pytest with some unique test execution modes:

* test run parallelization: if you have multiple CPUs or hosts you
  can use those for a combined test run. This allows to speed up
  development or to use special resources of remote machines.

* --looponfail: run your tests repeatedly in a subprocess. After
    each run pytest waits until a file in your project changes and
    then re-runs the previously failing tests. This is repeated
    until all tests pass after which again a full run is
    performed.

* Multi-Platform coverage: you can specify different Python
  interpreters or different platforms and run tests in parallel on
  all of them.

Before running tests remotely, pytest efficiently “rsyncs” your program source code to the remote place. All test results are reported back and displayed to your local terminal. You may specify different Python versions and interpreters.
