# Parallelize large pytest suites and isolate slow feedback loops with pytest-xdist

Fan out Python test execution across workers so slow suites finish faster and bottlenecks show up before they dominate CI time.

## Prerequisites

Python environment, pytest, pytest-xdist, and a pytest-compatible test suite with enough local or CI worker capacity to parallelize

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-xdist
- :alt: Python versions
