pytest-incremental ==================== an incremental test runner (pytest plug-in) What is an "incremental test runner" ? ======================================= The idea is to execute your tests faster by executing not all of them but only the "required" ones. When talking about build-tools it is common to refer to the terms: * initial (full) build - all files are compiled * incremental build (or partial rebuild) - just changed files are compiled * no-op build - no files are compiled (none changed since last execution) So an "incremental test runner" will only re-execute tests that were affected by changes in the source code since last successful execution. docs: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-incremental code: https://bitbucket.org/schettino72/pytest-incremental .
