A **xfail** means that you expect a test to fail for some reason.
A common example is a test for a feature not yet implemented, or a bug not yet fixed.
When a test passes despite being expected to fail (marked with ``pytest.mark.xfail``),
it's an **xpass** and will be reported in the test summary.
``pytest`` counts and lists *skip* and *xfail* tests separately. Detailed
information about skipped/xfailed tests is not shown by default to avoid
cluttering the output. You can use the ``-r`` option to see details
corresponding to the "short" letters shown in the test progress::
pytest -rxs # show extra info on skips and xfails
pytest -rxXs # show extra info on xfailed, xpassed, and skipped tests
More details on the ``-r`` option can be found by running ``pytest -h``.
