pytest-xml
Create simple XML results for parsing
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No—not yet. The package is in beta, dormant since release, lacks documentation (features and usage are marked TODO), and has minimal community adoption. Install only if you specifically need XML output from pytest and are willing to explore or contribute to an early-stage, unmaintained project. For production use, consider more established pytest XML plugins.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
pytest-xml is a pytest plugin that converts test results into XML format suitable for parsing by CI/CD systems, test dashboards, and other tools. It depends on pytest, pytest-metadata, dict2xml, and jinja2 to generate structured XML reports from test runs.
The plugin is in beta status and was first released in November 2024. It is designed for developers who need to export pytest results to XML for integration with external systems, though the package remains largely undocumented—the description notes "TODO" for both features and usage instructions. The codebase has not been updated since its initial release, and community engagement is minimal.
Use it for
- Export pytest results to XML for ingestion by CI/CD pipelines that expect structured test reports.
- Generate test reports in XML format for integration with test management or quality assurance platforms.
- Create machine-readable test output for downstream analysis, aggregation, or dashboard visualization.
- Automate test result parsing by converting pytest output to a standardized XML structure.
