You can use the -n<\/code> option to specify the number of parallel processes or workers you want to use for test execution. Here’s how to run unit tests in parallel using pytest<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\npytest-xdist<\/code> plugin. This plugin allows you to distribute your tests across multiple workers, which can significantly improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\nTo install pytest-xdist, run the following command:\r\n\r\n$ pip install pytest-xdist<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n
\n\n\nStep 1<\/span> - Install pytest:\r\n\r\nIf<\/span> you haven't already installed pytest, you can do so using pip:\r\n\r\n$ pip install pytest\r\n\r\nStep 2 - Organize Your pytest Tests:\r\n\r\ndef test_featureA():\r\n # Test code for feature A\r\n pass\r\n\r\ndef test_featureB():\r\n # Test code for feature B\r\n pass\r\n\r\n\r\nMake sure you have organized your pytest tests into Python test files and functions as usual. pytest can automatically discover and execute your tests.\r\n\r\nStep 3 - Run Tests in Parallel with pytest:\r\n\r\nTo run your pytest tests in parallel, use the pytest command followed by the -n option and the number of parallel processes you want to use. For example, to run tests in four parallel processes, use:\r\n\r\n$ pytest -n 4\r\n\r\nStep 4 - Replace 4 with the desired number of parallel processes you want to use.\r\n\r\npytest will discover your tests and distribute them across the specified number of processes for parallel execution. You'<\/span>ll see the test results from each process displayed in the terminal.\r\n\r\nStep 5<\/span> - Customize Parallel Execution (Optional):\r\n\r\nYou can further customize parallel test execution using pytest by using various options and<\/span> plugins. For<\/span> example, you can use<\/span> the<\/span> -k<\/span> option<\/span> to<\/span> select<\/span> specific<\/span> tests<\/span> to<\/span> run<\/span> based<\/span> on<\/span> test<\/span> names<\/span> or<\/span> patterns<\/span>.
