Packages
pytest-django integrates Django with pytest, letting you write and run Django tests using pytest's fixtures, plugins, and conventions instead of Django's built-in test runner.
pytest-docker provides pytest fixtures that automatically spin up and tear down Docker containers from a docker-compose.yml file for the duration of your test session, eliminating manual container lifecycle management.
Install it if your test suite needs real containerized services rather than mocks or if you're already using docker-compose for local development.
Provides pytest fixture factories for declaratively defining Docker-based test environments, automating container creation, teardown, and dependency resolution across test scopes.
Install it if you're writing tests that need Docker containers.
A pytest plugin that runs doctests in Python docstrings and documentation files (reStructuredText, Markdown, TeX) with advanced features like floating-point comparison and remote data handling.
Install it if you write documentation with code examples and want to ensure those examples stay correct.
A pytest plugin that automatically loads environment variables from .env files before test runs, with support for multiple files and optional override of existing system variables.
No—not for new projects.
A pytest plugin that measures and reports fixture and test function execution times separately, with support for xdist and time-traveling packages.
Install it if you need finer-grained visibility into test performance than pytest's built-in --durations provides, especially for large test suites where fixture…
A pytest plugin that provides fixtures and services for testing embedded systems, with built-in support for serial communication, device detection, and interaction patterns like expect-style matching.
A pytest plugin that integrates ESP-IDF embedded systems testing with pytest-embedded, enabling binary parsing and optional automated flashing to target boards.
Install it if you are testing ESP-IDF projects and want to integrate board flashing into your pytest workflow.
Adds JTAG debugging utilities to pytest-embedded for testing embedded systems via JTAG interfaces.
A pytest plugin that runs embedded system tests on QEMU instead of physical hardware, with optional integration for building bootable images when pytest-embedded-idf is available.
Install only if you have QEMU available on your system and are already using or planning to adopt pytest-embedded for your test suite.
A pytest plugin that enables serial port testing for embedded systems, providing fixtures and utilities to interact with and validate device behavior over serial connections.
A pytest plugin that provides fixtures and services for testing embedded systems, particularly Espressif target boards, with serial port communication and device detection via esptool.
Adds emoji indicators to pytest test result reports, replacing standard pass/fail/skip/error symbols with customizable emoji in both normal and verbose output modes.
Install only if you can verify it works with your specific pytest version and are willing to maintain a fork if needed.
A pytest plugin that conditionally enables other pytest plugins based on configuration, activating them only if they are installed.
A pytest plugin that loads environment variables from configuration files (pyproject.toml, pytest.toml, .pytest.toml, pytest.ini) or .env files before running tests.
Install it if you need to manage environment variables across test suites.
A pytest plugin that converts skipped tests into test failures, ensuring your CI pipeline catches tests that are being skipped rather than actually run.
A pytest plugin that finds, lints, runs, and validates Python code examples embedded in docstrings and markdown files, using ruff and black for formatting and checking print statement correctness.
A pytest plugin that generates Excel reports from test execution results, capturing test outcomes and metadata into .xls files with optional verbose formatting.
Install it if your workflow or stakeholders require test results in spreadsheet form; skip it if terminal or JSON reporting suffices.
A pytest plugin that reports test execution time broken down by module and individual test function, including setup and teardown durations, and works with pytest-xdist.
Integrates factory_boy with pytest to register factories as fixtures, enabling dependency injection and parametrization of test object creation.
Install it if you use factory_boy and pytest together.
A pytest plugin that marks tests as failed if they exceed a specified duration threshold, either via per-test markers or a global command-line option.
Install it if you need to enforce test duration limits in CI or detect slow tests without stopping them early.
Provides pytest fixtures that integrate the Faker library for generating fake data in test functions.
A pytest plugin that adds a `-P` option to run tests for specific sub-packages by name, filtering test discovery to match named sub-package paths.
A pytest plugin that identifies dependencies between tests by running them in multiple orders and using binary search to pinpoint which test causes another to fail.
Provides configuration objects and decorators for pytest fixtures that allow you to define, manage, and conditionally skip tests based on required configuration variables.
Install it if you're managing optional test fixtures or environment-dependent test setup.
A pytest plugin that runs flake8 PEP8 compliance checks on Python files as part of your test suite, discovering and checking every .py file automatically.
A pytest plugin that runs tests multiple times to detect flakiness and intermittent failures without restarting pytest.
A pytest plugin that runs each test in a forked subprocess to isolate crashes and segfaults, preventing a single test failure from terminating the entire test suite.
pytest-freezegun provides a pytest plugin that freezes time in tests using freezegun, allowing you to control the system clock within test functions and fixtures.
pytest-freezer provides a pytest fixture that freezes system time during tests, allowing you to control the clock for reproducible time-dependent test scenarios.
A pytest plugin that automatically annotates failed tests in GitHub Actions workflows using GitHub's workflow annotation commands, making test failures visible directly in the Actions UI.
Install it if you run pytest in GitHub Actions and want failures to surface directly in the UI.
A pytest plugin that provides fixtures to write and run tests for gRPC services, supporting both real server and fake in-process testing modes.
pytest-harvest captures and stores data generated during test execution, making it available for retrieval after the test session completes—useful for benchmarking, result aggregation, and post-test analysis.
Provides a pytest namespace for registering and accessing helper functions in conftest.py without explicit imports in test files.
However, do not use it in new projects or if you need active maintenance—the package is abandoned and may break with future pytest releases.
Provides pytest fixtures and testing utilities extracted from Home Assistant's test suite, enabling custom component developers to write tests using the same patterns as the core project.
A pytest plugin that runs a daemon to watch and hot-reload test code, skipping repeated imports and initialization to speed up test iteration cycles.
Generates HTML reports for pytest test results, turning test execution data into viewable web pages with test summaries, pass/fail status, and metadata.
Install it if you need HTML test reports; it's a standard tool in pytest ecosystems.
Merges multiple pytest HTML reports generated by the pytest-html plugin into a single consolidated HTML report, handling embedded CSS or external asset directories.
However, verify license terms first, and test compatibility with your version of pytest-html before relying on it in production.
Generates static HTML test reports from pytest test runs, with support for test history, screenshots on failure, and customizable report paths and titles.
However, it has not been updated since 2022-02-13 and is marked as aging; before installing, verify that it works with your current pytest and Python versions.
Provides a pytest fixture that runs a local httpbin server in a test thread, eliminating the need for remote HTTP service calls during testing.
