Pytest plugin for randomly selecting a specific number of tests.
pytest-draw is a pytest plugin that allows you to randomly select a specific number of tests from your test suite. This can be useful for running a smaller subset of your tests during development or as part of your continuous integration (CI) pipeline.
By default, pytest-draw selects 5 tests to run.
Some potential use cases for pytest-draw include:
- Running a smaller subset of your tests during development to speed up iteration time
- Running a specific set of tests as part of your CI pipeline to ensure compatibility with certain environments or configurations
- Running tests randomly to catch flaky tests or race conditions
You can install pytest-draw using pip:
pip install pytest-draw
Once installed, you can use the --draw command-line option to specify the number of tests to randomly select. For example, to randomly select 10 tests from your test suite, you can run:
pytest --draw=10
By default, pytest-draw selects 5 tests. You can specify a different number of tests using the --draw option.
Some benefits of using pytest-draw include:
- Faster iteration time during development by running a smaller subset of your tests
- Improved test coverage by running tests randomly to catch flaky tests or race conditions
- Improved reliability of your CI pipeline by running a specific set of tests in certain environments or configurations
