# The devel/py-test-xdist port

## py-test-xdist-1.16.0p2 – py.test xdist plugin for distributed testing

## Description

    The pytest-xdist plugin extends py.test with some unique test execution
    modes:

    Test run parallelization: if you have multiple CPUs or hosts you can use
    those for a combined test run. This allows to speed up development or to
    use special resources of remote machines.

    --boxed: run each test in a boxed subprocess to survive SEGFAULTS or
    otherwise dying processes

    --looponfail: run your tests repeatedly in a subprocess. After each run
    py.test waits until a file in your project changes and then re-runs the
    previously failing tests. This is repeated until all tests pass after
    which again a full run is performed.

    Multi-Platform coverage: you can specify different Python interpreters
    or different platforms and run tests in parallel on all of them.
