pytest-draw

Pytest plugin for randomly selecting a specific number of tests.

Overview

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.

Use Cases

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

Installation

You can install pytest-draw using pip:

pip install pytest-draw

Usage

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.

Benefits

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
