This lets you maintain a comprehensive test suite without slowing down everyday development cycles\u2014developers run the full suite only when explicitly requested via `--slow` or `--hugemem` flags, or in CI/CD pipelines where you want to catch all issues.\n\nThe plugin integrates directly into pytest's marker system, so you simply decorate slow or memory-intensive tests with the appropriate marker and the plugin handles the rest. It's a lightweight, zero-configuration addition to pytest that requires only pytest as a dependency and works with Python 3.8 and later.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained plugin with no security issues, low install friction, and a clear, focused purpose. If your test suite includes slow or memory-intensive tests that you want to skip by default during development, it solves that problem with minimal overhead and no configuration required."},"id":"pytest-skip-slow","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-skip-slow","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-skip-slow.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-skip-slow/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-27","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-skip-slow","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A pytest plugin to skip `@pytest.mark.slow` tests by default.
