#128 — pytest-incremental - an incremental test runner

pytest-incremental
====================

an incremental test runner (pytest plug-in)


What is an "incremental test runner" ?
=======================================

The idea is to execute your tests faster by executing not all of them
but only the "required" ones.

When talking about build-tools it is common to refer to the terms:

 * initial (full) build - all files are compiled
 * incremental build (or partial rebuild) - just changed files are compiled
 * no-op build - no files are compiled (none changed since last execution)

So an "incremental test runner" will only re-execute tests that were
affected
by changes in the source code since last successful execution.
