This is a pytest plug-in which automatically selects and re-executes only tests affected by recent changes. How is this possible in dynamic language like Python and how reliable is it? Read here: Determining affected tests

Quickstart

pip install pytest-testmon

# build the dependency database and save it to .testmondata
pytest --testmon

# change some of your code (with test coverage)

# only run tests affected by recent changes
pytest --testmon

To learn more about different options you can use with testmon, please head to testmon.org

Call for opensource projects: try testmon in CI with no effort or risk.

We would like to run testmon within your project, collect data and improve! We'll prepare the PR for you and set everything up so that no tests are deselected initially. You can start using the full functionality whenever the reliability and time savings seem right! Please get in touch and we'll contact you shortly.

Multiprocessing

We support multiprocessing. To enable it, put this in your .coveragerc:

[run]
concurrency = multiprocessing
parallel = true
sigterm = true

There are some limitations:

1. We only tested torch.multprocessing.spawn. Orignal multiprocessing module may not work well.
2. Coverage plugin is not tested. It may not work well.
3. pytest-xdist is not tested. It may not work well.
4. To set context of subprocess correctly, you need to set test batch size to 1, which may slow down the test.

Coverage report

We support saving coverage data in .coverage file. To enable it:

pytest --testmon --testmon-cov $SOURCE tests

Known issues:

1. This is not compatible with pytest-cov. You'd better uninstall pytest-cov before using this feature.
2. If you don't specify $SOURCE (pytest --testmon --testmon-cov tests), we will use record everything. This behavior is different from coverage.py. Thus, we highly recommend you to specify $SOURCE.

Environment variables

TESTMON_CORE_PKGS: when dectecting package changes, it will only include packages in this list. E.g. TESTMON_CORE_PKGS=requirements.txt,requirements-dev.txt, it will only include packages in requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt.
