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:

pytest-sugar
pytest-cov
pytest-stress
pytest-repeat
pytest-instafail
pytest-metadata
pytest-randomly
pytest-xdist
pytest-flake8
pytest-timeout
pytest-spec
pytest-picked
pytest-freezegun
pytest-check
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.
