Instead of the default pytest output, it formats results to resemble a specification document, grouping tests by file and class, replacing underscores and test_ prefixes with readable names, and marking pass/fail/skip status with configurable indicators and colors.\n\nThe plugin is designed for teams that want test output to double as living documentation. It supports function-based, class-based, and describe-style tests, and allows extensive customization through pytest configuration files (pytest.ini or pyproject.toml) to control header format, test name display, status indicators, indentation, and filtering of unwanted output.","worth_installing":"Yes. Low install friction, no dependencies, actively maintained, supports modern Python versions, and zero known vulnerabilities.
