pytest plugins are an amazing way to supercharge your test suites, leveraging great solutions from people solving test problems all over the world. In this episode Michael and I discuss 15 favorite plugins that you should know about.
We also discuss fixtures and plugins and other testing tools that work great with pytest
* tox
* GitHub Actions
* Coverage.py
* Selenium + splinter with pytest-splinter
* Hypothesis
And then our list of pytest plugins:
1. pytest-sugar
1. pytest-cov
1. pytest-stress
1. pytest-repeat
1. pytest-instafail
1. pytest-metadata
1. pytest-randomly
1. pytest-xdist
1. pytest-flake8
1. pytest-timeout
1. pytest-spec
1. pytest-picked
1. pytest-freezegun
1. pytest-check
1. fluentcheck
That last one isn't a plugin, but we also talked about pytest-splinter at the beginning. So I think it still counts as 15.
