Executing specific tests using pytest

Question

Is there a way in pytest to add an attribute to a test, say for example "smoke test" or "regression" and then run only those tests?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use Markers for that.

See "Marking test functions and selecting them for a run"

Essentially, you will "mark" some of your tests with @pytest.mark.smoke and then launch them with a command like $ pytest -m smoke.
