unittest-parallel 1.5.3

Parallel unit test runner with coverage support

unittest-parallel

unittest-parallel is a parallel unit test runner for Python with coverage support.

To run unittest-parallel, specify the directory containing your unit tests with the "-s" argument and your package's top-level directory using the "-t" argument:

unittest-parallel -t . -s tests

By default, unittest-parallel runs unit tests on all CPU cores available.

To run your unit tests with coverage, add either the "--coverage" option (for line coverage) or the "--coverage-branch" for line and branch coverage.

unittest-parallel -t . -s tests --coverage-branch

How it works

unittest-parallel uses Python's built-in unit test discovery to find all test cases in your project. It then runs all test cases in a Python multi-processing pool of the requested size.

Class and Module Fixtures

Python's unittest framework supports class and module fixtures. Use the "--class-fixtures" option to execute class fixtures correctly. Use the "--module-fixtures" option to execute module fixtures correctly. Note that these options reduce the amount of parallelism.

Example output

$ unittest-parallel -v -t src -s src/tests --coverage-branch --coverage-fail-under 100
