[pytest-dev] More flexibility on test function naming conventions

[Bruno Oliveira]

Ernesto,

Nice that you found the solution. Just to note that the documentation seems
correct:

.. confval:: python_functions

   One or more name prefixes or glob-patterns determining which test
functions
   and methods are considered tests.

Cheers,
Bruno.
