tdd-guard-pytest
Pytest plugin for TDD Guard - enforces Test-Driven Development principles
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using TDD Guard and pytest together. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and adds minimal friction—it requires only pytest and a one-time configuration of your project root. Install it to automate test result capture for TDD Guard validation. If you are not using TDD Guard, this plugin has no standalone value.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires TDD Guard installed globally and an absolute path to project root configured in pytest configuration file; current directory must be within the configured project root.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency on pytest.
- The package is actively maintained with recent releases and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This is a pytest plugin that automatically captures test results during test runs and exports them in a format TDD Guard can consume for validation. It integrates seamlessly into pytest's test execution pipeline and requires minimal setup—mainly configuring an absolute path to your project root in a standard pytest configuration file.
The plugin is designed to work with TDD Guard, a separate tool that enforces Test-Driven Development practices. After you install the plugin, it activates automatically and writes test results to a specific location (.claude/tdd-guard/data/test.json) where TDD Guard can access them. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.13 and depends only on pytest itself, keeping the dependency footprint small.
Use it for
- Integrate pytest test results with TDD Guard for automated TDD principle enforcement in CI/CD pipelines
- Capture test execution data to validate that tests are written before implementation code
- Monitor test-driven development compliance across a project using pytest as the test runner
- Export test metadata for TDD Guard analysis without modifying existing test code
- Enforce development workflow rules by feeding pytest results into TDD Guard validation
