116: 15 amazing pytest plugins - Michael Kennedy

pytest plugins are an amazing way to supercharge your test suites, leveraging great solutions from people solving test problems all over the world. In this episode Michael and I discuss 15 favorite plugins that you should know about.
We also discuss fixtures and plugins and other testing tools that work great with pytest
  • tox
  • GitHub Actions
  • Coverage.py
  • Selenium + splinter with pytest-splinter
  • Hypothesis
And then our list of pytest plugins:
  1. pytest-sugar 
  2. pytest-cov 
  3. pytest-stress 
  4. pytest-repeat 
  5. pytest-instafail 
  6. pytest-metadata
  7. pytest-randomly
  8. pytest-xdist 
  9. pytest-flake8 
  10. pytest-timeout 
  11. pytest-spec 
  12. pytest-picked 
  13. pytest-freezegun 
  14. pytest-check 
  15. fluentcheck
That last one isn't a plugin, but we also talked about pytest-splinter at the beginning. So I think it still counts as 15.
