      • --md-report: Generate a Markdown report of the test results.
      • repo-name: Specify the git repository name for the report.
      • --pr-number: Include a pull request number in the report for better traceability.

      • --commit: Include the commit hash in the report for better traceability.
      • --add-parameters: Add the test parameters as fields to the test results.
      • --pytest-command: Add the detailed information about the pytest command-line to the "execution_results.json" file
      • --pytest-xfail-strict: Enable strict xfail handling, treating unexpected passes as failures, if set to True "execution status" will be "failed" when there is at least one xpass test
      • --result-each-test: Print the pytest result for each test after its execution
      • --log-collected-tests: Log all collected tests at the start of the test session

  • maxfail-streak: Stop test execution after a configurable number of consecutive failures.
    • flags:
      • --maxfail-streak=N: Stop test execution after N consecutive failures.

  • fail2skip: Change failing tests to skipped, allowing for better test management and reporting.
  • flags:
    • --fail2skip: Enable the fail2skip feature.
      • @pytest.mark.fail2skip: Decorator to mark tests that should be skipped on failure.

  • verbose-param-ids: Enhance test IDs with parameter names for better clarity in pytest reports.
  • flags:
    • --verbose-param-ids: Include parameter names in pytest test IDs (e.g., (param1: value1, param2: value2) instead of (param1-param2))

  • require-tests: Fail the run if no tests were collected. Raises a UsageError (exit code 4) when --require-tests is set and zero tests are found.
