It lets you run multiple iterations or parameterized checks within a single test function, reporting each failure individually rather than stopping at the first one. This is useful when you want to test many similar cases (like iterating over a list of inputs) and see all failures at once instead of fixing them one by one.\n\nThe plugin depends only on pytest and attrs, and supports Python 3.9 through 3.13. It is classified as Beta and distributed under the MIT license. However, the repository is archived and no longer maintained, so while it works with current pytest versions, there is no active development or support for future changes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need subTest() support in pytest and do not require ongoing maintenance. The plugin is stable and works with modern Python versions (3.9\u20133.13), has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, the abandoned status means no fixes or updates for future pytest or Python releases\u2014use it only if you accept that risk or have a fallback plan."},"id":"pytest-subtests","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-subtests","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-subtests.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-subtests/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-subtests","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"unittest subTest() support and subtests fixture"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4875378,"position":2209,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.15.0"}
