Use case? about pytest-stress

[ImXron]

Hi Martin,

This plugin allows users to run their test suite in a loop for a given amount of time. This is a common use case for testing (stress testing) hardware during the manufacturing process (just one example).

Thank you for your reply!

Which manufacturing process do you mean?

Is pytest-stress related to pytest-benchmark

No problem!

Which manufacturing process do you mean?

For example, if a factory were manufacturing some kind of computer or smart device and they needed to perform tests on these devices for 24 hours (to make sure they work before shipping them). They could use pytest and this plugin to run a test suite in a loop for 24 hours.

Is pytest-stress related to pytest-benchmark?

I just looked at pytest-benchmark, and it looks like that's more for benchmarking code. So I wouldn't say they're related.

Cool, thank you for your help. I think I understood it :-)
