+Writing Tests
+----------------------------
+
+Writing tests for plugins or for pytest itself is often done using the `testdir fixture <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference.html#testdir>`_, as a "black-box" test.
+
+For example, to ensure a simple test passes you can write:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_true_assertion(testdir):
+        testdir.makepyfile(
+            """
+            def test_foo():
+                assert True
+        """
+        )
+        result = testdir.runpytest()
+        result.assert_outcomes(failed=0, passed=1)
+
+
+Alternatively, it is possible to make checks based on the actual output of the termal using
+*glob-like* expressions:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_true_assertion(testdir):
+        testdir.makepyfile(
+            """
+            def test_foo():
+                assert False
+        """
+        )
+        result = testdir.runpytest()
+        result.stdout.fnmatch_lines(["*assert False*", "*1 failed*"])
+
+When choosing a file where to write a new test, take a look at the existing files and see if there's
+one file which looks like a good fit. For example, a regression test about a bug in the ``--lf`` option
+should go into ``test_cacheprovider.py``, given that this option is implemented in ``cacheprovider.py``.
+If in doubt, go ahead and open a PR with your best guess and we can discuss this over the code.

 Reporting details about a failing assertion is achieved by rewriting assert
 statements before they are run.  Rewritten assert statements put introspection
 information into the assertion failure message.  ``pytest`` only rewrites test
-modules directly discovered by its test collection process, so asserts in
-supporting modules which are not themselves test modules will not be rewritten.
-
-.. note::
-
-   ``pytest`` rewrites test modules on import by using an import
-   hook to write new ``pyc`` files. Most of the time this works transparently.
-   However, if you are messing with import yourself, the import hook may
-   interfere.
-
-   If this is the case you have two options:
-
-   * Disable rewriting for a specific module by adding the string
-     ``PYTEST_DONT_REWRITE`` to its docstring.
-
-   * Disable rewriting for all modules by using ``--assert=plain``.

-   i.e. in a read-only filesystem or a zipfile.
+modules directly discovered by its test collection process, so **asserts in
+supporting modules which are not themselves test modules will not be rewritten**.
 
+You can manually enable assertion rewriting for an imported module by calling
+`register_assert_rewrite <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html#assertion-rewriting>`_
+before you import it (a good place to do that is in your root ``conftest.py``).
 
 For further information, Benjamin Peterson wrote up `Behind the scenes of pytest's new assertion rewriting <http://pybites.blogspot.com/2011/07/behind-scenes-of-pytests-new-assertion.html>`_.
 
+Assertion rewriting caches files on disk
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``pytest`` will write back the rewritten modules to disk for caching. You can disable
+this behavior (for example to avoid leaving stale ``.pyc`` files around in projects that
+move files around a lot) by adding this to the top of your ``conftest.py`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   import sys
+
+   sys.dont_write_bytecode = True
+
+Note that you still get the benefits of assertion introspection, the only change is that
+the ``.pyc`` files won't be cached on disk.
+
+Additionally, rewriting will silently skip caching if it cannot write new ``.pyc`` files,
+i.e. in a read-only filesystem or a zipfile.

 With the pytest 3.0 release we introduced a clear communication scheme for when we will actually remove the old busted joint and politely ask you to use the new hotness instead, while giving you enough time to adjust your tests or raise concerns if there are valid reasons to keep deprecated functionality around.
 
-To communicate changes we are already issuing deprecation warnings, but they are not displayed by default. In pytest 3.0 we changed the default setting so that pytest deprecation warnings are displayed if not explicitly silenced (with ``--disable-pytest-warnings``).
+To communicate changes we issue deprecation warnings using a custom warning hierarchy (see :ref:`internal-warnings`). These warnings may be suppressed using the standard means: ``-W`` command-line flag or ``filterwarnings`` ini options (see :ref:`warnings`), but we suggest to use these sparingly and temporarily, and heed the warnings when possible.
 
-We will only remove deprecated functionality in major releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.0 we will remove it in 4.0), and keep it around for at least two minor releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.9 and 4.0 is the next release, we will not remove it in 4.0 but in 5.0).
+We will only start the removal of deprecated functionality in major releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.0 we will start to remove it in 4.0), and keep it around for at least two minor releases (e.g. if we deprecate something in 3.9 and 4.0 is the next release, we start to remove it in 5.0, not in 4.0).
+
+When the deprecation expires (e.g. 4.0 is released), we won't remove the deprecated functionality immediately, but will use the standard warning filters to turn them into **errors** by default. This approach makes it explicit that removal is imminent, and still gives you time to turn the deprecated feature into a warning instead of an error so it can be dealt with in your own time. In the next minor release (e.g. 4.1), the feature will be effectively removed.
 
 
 Deprecation Roadmap
 -------------------
 
-We track deprecation and removal of features using milestones and the `deprecation <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues?q=label%3A%22type%3A+deprecation%22>`_ and `removal <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/labels/type%3A%20removal>`_ labels on GitHub.
+Features currently deprecated and removed in previous releases can be found in :ref:`deprecations`.
 
-Following our deprecation policy, after starting issuing deprecation warnings we keep features for *at least* two minor versions before considering removal.
+We track future deprecation and removal of features using milestones and the `deprecation <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues?q=label%3A%22type%3A+deprecation%22>`_ and `removal <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/labels/type%3A%20removal>`_ labels on GitHub.

+As an alternative to ``--lf -x``, especially for cases where you expect a large part of the test suite will fail, ``--sw``, ``--stepwise`` allows you to fix them one at a time. The test suite will run until the first failure and then stop. At the next invocation, tests will continue from the last failing test and then run until the next failing test. You may use the ``--stepwise-skip`` option to ignore one failing test and stop the test execution on the second failing test instead. This is useful if you get stuck on a failing test and just want to ignore it until later.

+
+Deprecations and Removals
+=========================
+
+This page lists all pytest features that are currently deprecated or have been removed in past major releases.
+The objective is to give users a clear rationale why a certain feature has been removed, and what alternatives
+should be used instead.
+
+.. contents::
+    :depth: 3
+    :local:
+
+
+Deprecated Features
+-------------------
+
+Below is a complete list of all pytest features which are considered deprecated. Using those features will issue
+:class:`_pytest.warning_types.PytestWarning` or subclasses, which can be filtered using
+:ref:`standard warning filters <warnings>`.
+
+``"message"`` parameter of ``pytest.raises``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 4.1
+
+It is a common mistake to think this parameter will match the exception message, while in fact
+it only serves to provide a custom message in case the ``pytest.raises`` check fails. To prevent
+users from making this mistake, and because it is believed to be little used, pytest is
+deprecating it without providing an alternative for the moment.
+
+If you have a valid use case for this parameter, consider that to obtain the same results
+you can just call ``pytest.fail`` manually at the end of the ``with`` statement.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    with pytest.raises(TimeoutError, message="Client got unexpected message"):
+        wait_for(websocket.recv(), 0.5)
+
+
+Becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    with pytest.raises(TimeoutError):
+        wait_for(websocket.recv(), 0.5)
+        pytest.fail("Client got unexpected message")
+
+
+If you still have concerns about this deprecation and future removal, please comment on
+`issue #3974 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3974>`__.
+
+
+``pytest.config`` global
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 4.1
+
+The ``pytest.config`` global object is deprecated.  Instead use
+``request.config`` (via the ``request`` fixture) or if you are a plugin author
+use the ``pytest_configure(config)`` hook.
+
+.. _raises-warns-exec:
+
+``raises`` / ``warns`` with a string as the second argument
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 4.1
+
+Use the context manager form of these instead.  When necessary, invoke ``exec``
+directly.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError, "1 / 0")
+    pytest.raises(SyntaxError, "a $ b")
+
+    pytest.warns(DeprecationWarning, "my_function()")
+    pytest.warns(SyntaxWarning, "assert(1, 2)")
+
+Becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    with pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
+        1 / 0
+    with pytest.raises(SyntaxError):
+        exec("a $ b")  # exec is required for invalid syntax
+
+    with pytest.warns(DeprecationWarning):
+        my_function()
+    with pytest.warns(SyntaxWarning):
+        exec("assert(1, 2)")  # exec is used to avoid a top-level warning
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Result log (``--result-log``)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. deprecated:: 3.0
+
+The ``--resultlog`` command line option has been deprecated: it is little used
+and there are more modern and better alternatives, for example `pytest-tap <https://tappy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
+
+This feature will be effectively removed in pytest 4.0 as the team intends to include a better alternative in the core.
+
+If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to `open an issue <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues>`__.
+
+Removed Features
+----------------
+
+As stated in our :ref:`backwards-compatibility` policy, deprecated features are removed only in major releases after
+an appropriate period of deprecation has passed.
+
+Using ``Class`` in custom Collectors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Using objects named ``"Class"`` as a way to customize the type of nodes that are collected in ``Collector``
+subclasses has been deprecated. Users instead should use ``pytest_pycollect_makeitem`` to customize node types during
+collection.
+
+This issue should affect only advanced plugins who create new collection types, so if you see this warning
+message please contact the authors so they can change the code.
+
+
+marks in ``pytest.mark.parametrize``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Applying marks to values of a ``pytest.mark.parametrize`` call is now deprecated. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        "a, b",
+        [
+            (3, 9),
+            pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")(6, 36),
+            (10, 100),
+            (20, 200),
+            (40, 400),
+            (50, 500),
+        ],
+    )
+    def test_foo(a, b):
+        ...
+
+This code applies the ``pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")`` mark to the ``(6, 36)`` value of the above parametrization
+call.
+
+This was considered hard to read and understand, and also its implementation presented problems to the code preventing
+further internal improvements in the marks architecture.
+
+To update the code, use ``pytest.param``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize(
+        "a, b",
+        [
+            (3, 9),
+            pytest.param(6, 36, marks=pytest.mark.xfail(reason="flaky")),
+            (10, 100),
+            (20, 200),
+            (40, 400),
+            (50, 500),
+        ],
+    )
+    def test_foo(a, b):
+        ...
+
+
+``pytest_funcarg__`` prefix
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+In very early pytest versions fixtures could be defined using the ``pytest_funcarg__`` prefix:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def pytest_funcarg__data():
+        return SomeData()
+
+Switch over to the ``@pytest.fixture`` decorator:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def data():
+        return SomeData()
+
+
+
+[pytest] section in setup.cfg files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+``[pytest]`` sections in ``setup.cfg`` files should now be named ``[tool:pytest]``
+to avoid conflicts with other distutils commands.
+
+
+Metafunc.addcall
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+:meth:`_pytest.python.Metafunc.addcall` was a precursor to the current parametrized mechanism. Users should use
+:meth:`_pytest.python.Metafunc.parametrize` instead.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
+        metafunc.addcall({"i": 1}, id="1")
+        metafunc.addcall({"i": 2}, id="2")
+
+Becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def pytest_generate_tests(metafunc):
+        metafunc.parametrize("i", [1, 2], ids=["1", "2"])
+
+
+``cached_setup``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+``request.cached_setup`` was the precursor of the setup/teardown mechanism available to fixtures.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def db_session():
+        return request.cached_setup(
+            setup=Session.create, teardown=lambda session: session.close(), scope="module"
+        )
+
+This should be updated to make use of standard fixture mechanisms:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture(scope="module")
+    def db_session():
+        session = Session.create()
+        yield session
+        session.close()
+
+
+You can consult `funcarg comparison section in the docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/funcarg_compare.html>`_ for
+more information.
+
+
+pytest_plugins in non-top-level conftest files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Defining ``pytest_plugins`` is now deprecated in non-top-level conftest.py
+files because they will activate referenced plugins *globally*, which is surprising because for all other pytest
+features ``conftest.py`` files are only *active* for tests at or below it.
+
+
+``Config.warn`` and ``Node.warn``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Those methods were part of the internal pytest warnings system, but since ``3.8`` pytest is using the builtin warning
+system for its own warnings, so those two functions are now deprecated.
+
+``Config.warn`` should be replaced by calls to the standard ``warnings.warn``, example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    config.warn("C1", "some warning")
+
+Becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    warnings.warn(pytest.PytestWarning("some warning"))
+
+``Node.warn`` now supports two signatures:
+
+* ``node.warn(PytestWarning("some message"))``: is now the **recommended** way to call this function.
+  The warning instance must be a PytestWarning or subclass.
+
+* ``node.warn("CI", "some message")``: this code/message form has been **removed** and should be converted to the warning instance form above.
+
+record_xml_property
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+The ``record_xml_property`` fixture is now deprecated in favor of the more generic ``record_property``, which
+can be used by other consumers (for example ``pytest-html``) to obtain custom information about the test run.
+
+This is just a matter of renaming the fixture as the API is the same:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_foo(record_xml_property):
+        ...
+
+Change to:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def test_foo(record_property):
+        ...
+
+
+Passing command-line string to ``pytest.main()``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Passing a command-line string to ``pytest.main()`` is deprecated:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    pytest.main("-v -s")
+
+Pass a list instead:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    pytest.main(["-v", "-s"])
+
+
+By passing a string, users expect that pytest will interpret that command-line using the shell rules they are working
+on (for example ``bash`` or ``Powershell``), but this is very hard/impossible to do in a portable way.
+
+
+Calling fixtures directly
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Calling a fixture function directly, as opposed to request them in a test function, is deprecated.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def cell():
+        return ...
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def full_cell():
+        cell = cell()
+        cell.make_full()
+        return cell
+
+This is a great source of confusion to new users, which will often call the fixture functions and request them from test functions interchangeably, which breaks the fixture resolution model.
+
+In those cases just request the function directly in the dependent fixture:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def cell():
+        return ...
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture
+    def full_cell(cell):
+        cell.make_full()
+        return cell
+
+Alternatively if the fixture function is called multiple times inside a test (making it hard to apply the above pattern) or
+if you would like to make minimal changes to the code, you can create a fixture which calls the original function together
+with the ``name`` parameter:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def cell():
+        return ...
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture(name="cell")
+    def cell_fixture():
+        return cell()
+
+
+``yield`` tests
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+pytest supported ``yield``-style tests, where a test function actually ``yield`` functions and values
+that are then turned into proper test methods. Example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def check(x, y):
+        assert x ** x == y
+
+
+    def test_squared():
+        yield check, 2, 4
+        yield check, 3, 9
+
+This would result into two actual test functions being generated.
+
+This form of test function doesn't support fixtures properly, and users should switch to ``pytest.mark.parametrize``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize("x, y", [(2, 4), (3, 9)])
+    def test_squared(x, y):
+        assert x ** x == y
+
+Internal classes accessed through ``Node``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+Access of ``Module``, ``Function``, ``Class``, ``Instance``, ``File`` and ``Item`` through ``Node`` instances now issue
+this warning::
+
+    usage of Function.Module is deprecated, please use pytest.Module instead
+
+Users should just ``import pytest`` and access those objects using the ``pytest`` module.
+
+This has been documented as deprecated for years, but only now we are actually emitting deprecation warnings.
+
+``Node.get_marker``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+As part of a large :ref:`marker-revamp`, :meth:`_pytest.nodes.Node.get_marker` is deprecated. See
+:ref:`the documentation <update marker code>` on tips on how to update your code.
+
+
+``somefunction.markname``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+As part of a large :ref:`marker-revamp` we already deprecated using ``MarkInfo``
+the only correct way to get markers of an element is via ``node.iter_markers(name)``.
+
+
+``pytest_namespace``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 4.0
+
+This hook is deprecated because it greatly complicates the pytest internals regarding configuration and initialization, making some
+bug fixes and refactorings impossible.
+
+Example of usage:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class MySymbol:
+        ...
+
+
+    def pytest_namespace():
+        return {"my_symbol": MySymbol()}
+
+
+Plugin authors relying on this hook should instead require that users now import the plugin modules directly (with an appropriate public API).
+
+As a stopgap measure, plugin authors may still inject their names into pytest's namespace, usually during ``pytest_configure``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pytest
+
+
+    def pytest_configure():
+        pytest.my_symbol = MySymbol()
+
+
+
+
+Reinterpretation mode (``--assert=reinterp``)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 3.0
+
+Reinterpretation mode has now been removed and only plain and rewrite
+mode are available, consequently the ``--assert=reinterp`` option is
+no longer available.  This also means files imported from plugins or
+``conftest.py`` will not benefit from improved assertions by
+default, you should use ``pytest.register_assert_rewrite()`` to
+explicitly turn on assertion rewriting for those files.
+
+Removed command-line options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 3.0
+
+The following deprecated commandline options were removed:
+
+* ``--genscript``: no longer supported;
+* ``--no-assert``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
+* ``--nomagic``: use ``--assert=plain`` instead;
+* ``--report``: use ``-r`` instead;
+
+py.test-X* entry points
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionremoved:: 3.0
+
+Removed all ``py.test-X*`` entry points. The versioned, suffixed entry points
+were never documented and a leftover from a pre-virtualenv era. These entry
+points also created broken entry points in wheels, so removing them also
+removes a source of confusion for users.

+Parametrizing conditional raising
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Use :func:`pytest.raises` with the
+:ref:`pytest.mark.parametrize ref` decorator to write parametrized tests
+in which some tests raise exceptions and others do not.
+
+It is helpful to define a no-op context manager ``does_not_raise`` to serve
+as a complement to ``raises``. For example::
+
+    from contextlib import contextmanager
+    import pytest
+
+    @contextmanager
+    def does_not_raise():
+        yield
+
+
+    @pytest.mark.parametrize('example_input,expectation', [
+        (3, does_not_raise()),
+        (2, does_not_raise()),
+        (1, does_not_raise()),
+        (0, pytest.raises(ZeroDivisionError)),
+    ])
+    def test_division(example_input, expectation):
+        """Test how much I know division."""
+        with expectation:
+            assert (6 / example_input) is not None
+
+In the example above, the first three test cases should run unexceptionally,
+while the fourth should raise ``ZeroDivisionError``.
+
+If you're only supporting Python 3.7+, you can simply use ``nullcontext``
+to define ``does_not_raise``::
+
+    from contextlib import nullcontext as does_not_raise
+
+Or, if you're supporting Python 3.3+ you can use::
+
+    from contextlib import ExitStack as does_not_raise
+
+Or, if desired, you can ``pip install contextlib2`` and use::
+
+    from contextlib2 import ExitStack as does_not_raise

+Flaky tests
+-----------
+
+A "flaky" test is one that exhibits intermittent or sporadic failure, that seems to have non-deterministic behaviour. Sometimes it passes, sometimes it fails, and it's not clear why. This page discusses pytest features that can help and other general strategies for identifying, fixing or mitigating them.
+
+Why flaky tests are a problem
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Flaky tests are particularly troublesome when a continuous integration (CI) server is being used, so that all tests must pass before a new code change can be merged. If the test result is not a reliable signal -- that a test failure means the code change broke the test -- developers can become mistrustful of the test results, which can lead to overlooking genuine failures. It is also a source of wasted time as developers must re-run test suites and investigate spurious failures.
+
+
+Potential root causes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+System state
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Broadly speaking, a flaky test indicates that the test relies on some system state that is not being appropriately controlled - the test environment is not sufficiently isolated. Higher level tests are more likely to be flaky as they rely on more state.
+
+Flaky tests sometimes appear when a test suite is run in parallel (such as use of pytest-xdist). This can indicate a test is reliant on test ordering.
+
+-  Perhaps a different test is failing to clean up after itself and leaving behind data which causes the flaky test to fail.
+- The flaky test is reliant on data from a previous test that doesn't clean up after itself, and in parallel runs that previous test is not always present
+- Tests that modify global state typically cannot be run in parallel.
+
+
+Overly strict assertion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Overly strict assertions can cause problems with floating point comparison as well as timing issues. `pytest.approx <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/reference.html#pytest-approx>`_ is useful here.
+
+
+Pytest features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Xfail strict
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`pytest.mark.xfail ref` with ``strict=False`` can be used to mark a test so that its failure does not cause the whole build to break. This could be considered like a manual quarantine, and is rather dangerous to use permanently.
+
+
+PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:ref:`pytest current test env` may be useful for figuring out "which test got stuck".
+
+
+Plugins
+~~~~~~~
+
+Rerunning any failed tests can mitigate the negative effects of flaky tests by giving them additional chances to pass, so that the overall build does not fail. Several pytest plugins support this:
+
+* `flaky <https://github.com/box/flaky>`_
+* `pytest-flakefinder <https://github.com/dropbox/pytest-flakefinder>`_ - `blog post <https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/03/open-sourcing-pytest-tools/>`_
+* `pytest-rerunfailures <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-rerunfailures>`_
+* `pytest-replay <https://github.com/ESSS/pytest-replay>`_: This plugin helps to reproduce locally crashes or flaky tests observed during CI runs.
+
+Plugins to deliberately randomize tests can help expose tests with state problems:
+
+* `pytest-random-order <https://github.com/jbasko/pytest-random-order>`_
+* `pytest-randomly <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-randomly>`_
+
+
+Other general strategies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Split up test suites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It can be common to split a single test suite into two, such as unit vs integration, and only use the unit test suite as a CI gate. This also helps keep build times manageable as high level tests tend to be slower. However, it means it does become possible for code that breaks the build to be merged, so extra vigilance is needed for monitoring the integration test results.
+
+
+Video/screenshot on failure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For UI tests these are important for understanding what the state of the UI was when the test failed. pytest-splinter can be used with plugins like pytest-bdd and can `save a screenshot on test failure <https://pytest-splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#automatic-screenshots-on-test-failure>`_, which can help to isolate the cause.
+
+
+Delete or rewrite the test
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the functionality is covered by other tests, perhaps the test can be removed. If not, perhaps it can be rewritten at a lower level which will remove the flakiness or make its source more apparent.
+
+
+Quarantine
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Mark Lapierre discusses the `Pros and Cons of Quarantined Tests <https://dev.to/mlapierre/pros-and-cons-of-quarantined-tests-2emj>`_ in a post from 2018.
+
+
+
+CI tools that rerun on failure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Azure Pipelines (the Azure cloud CI/CD tool, formerly Visual Studio Team Services or VSTS) has a feature to `identify flaky tests <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2017/dec-11-vsts#identify-flaky-tests>`_ and rerun failed tests.

 Good Integration Practices
 =================================================
 
+Install package with pip
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+For development, we recommend you use venv_ for virtual environments
+(or virtualenv_ for Python 2.7) and
+pip_ for installing your application and any dependencies,
+as well as the ``pytest`` package itself.
+This ensures your code and dependencies are isolated from your system Python installation.
+
+Next, place a ``setup.py`` file in the root of your package with the following minimum content::
+
+    from setuptools import setup, find_packages
+
+    setup(name="PACKAGENAME", packages=find_packages())
+
+Where ``PACKAGENAME`` is the name of your package. You can then install your package in "editable" mode by running from the same directory::
+
+     pip install -e .
+
+which lets you change your source code (both tests and application) and rerun tests at will.
+This is similar to running ``python setup.py develop`` or ``conda develop`` in that it installs

+===============================

+Python 2.7 EOL is fast approaching, with

+Python 3.4's last release is scheduled for
+`March 2019 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0429/#release-schedule>`__. pytest is one of
+the participating projects of the https://python3statement.org.
+
+We plan to drop support for Python 2.7 and 3.4 at the same time with the release of **pytest 5.0**,
+scheduled to be released by **mid-2019**. Thanks to the `python_requires <https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#python-requires>`__ ``setuptools`` option,
+Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 users using a modern ``pip`` version
+will install the last compatible pytest ``4.X`` version automatically even if ``5.0`` or later
+are available on PyPI.
+
+During the period **from mid-2019 and 2020**, the pytest core team plans to make
+bug-fix releases of the pytest ``4.X`` series by back-porting patches to the ``4.x-maintenance``
+branch.
+
+**After 2020**, the core team will no longer actively back port-patches, but the ``4.x-maintenance``
+branch will continue to exist so the community itself can contribute patches. The
+core team will be happy to accept those patches and make new ``4.X`` releases **until mid-2020**.

+DeprecationWarning and PendingDeprecationWarning
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.8
+.. versionchanged:: 3.9
+
+By default pytest will display ``DeprecationWarning`` and ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` warnings from
+user code and third-party libraries, as recommended by `PEP-0565 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0565>`_.
+This helps users keep their code modern and avoid breakages when deprecated warnings are effectively removed.
+
+Sometimes it is useful to hide some specific deprecation warnings that happen in code that you have no control over
+(such as third-party libraries), in which case you might use the warning filters options (ini or marks) to ignore
+those warnings.
+
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [pytest]
+    filterwarnings =
+        ignore:.*U.*mode is deprecated:DeprecationWarning
+
+
+This will ignore all warnings of type ``DeprecationWarning`` where the start of the message matches
+the regular expression ``".*U.*mode is deprecated"``.
+
+.. note::
+    If warnings are configured at the interpreter level, using
+    the `PYTHONWARNINGS <https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONWARNINGS>`_ environment variable or the
+    ``-W`` command-line option, pytest will not configure any filters by default.
+
+    Also pytest doesn't follow ``PEP-0506`` suggestion of resetting all warning filters because
+    it might break test suites that configure warning filters themselves
+    by calling ``warnings.simplefilter`` (see issue `#2430 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2430>`_
+    for an example of that).
