Pytest is a Python testing framework that originated from the PyPy project. It can be used to write various types of software tests, including unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, and functional tests. Its features include parametrized testing, fixtures, and assert re-writing.

Pytest fixtures provide the contexts for tests by passing in parameter names in test cases; its parametrization eliminates duplicate code for testing multiple sets of input and output; and its rewritten assert statements provide detailed output for causes of failures.
