Pytest Summary

In this pytest tutorial, we covered the following:

• Installing pytest.
• Identifying test files and test functions.
• Use pytest -v to execute all test files.
• Use pytest <filename> -v to execute a specific file.
• Execute tests by substring matching: pytest -k -v.
• Execute tests based on a marker: pytest -m -v.
• Create fixtures using @pytest.fixture
• A conftest.py file allows access to fixtures from multiple files.
• Use @pytest.mark.parametrize to parameterize tests.
• Use @pytest.mark.xfail.Xfail to fail tests.
• Use @pytest.mark.skip to skip tests.
• Use pytest --maxfail=<num> to stop test execution after n failures.
• Use pytest -n <num> to run tests in parallel.
• Use pytest -v –junitxml=”result.xml” to generate result XML.
