-Feature Overview
-=============================================
-
-
-- **a mature full-featured testing tool**
-
- - runs on Posix/Windows, Python 2.4-3.2, PyPy and Jython
- - continuously `tested on many Python interpreters <http://hudson.testrun.org/view/pytest/job/pytest/>`_
- - used in :ref:`many projects and organisations <projects>`, in test
-   suites ranging from 10 to 10s of thousands of tests
- - has :ref:`comprehensive documentation <toc>`
- - comes with :ref:`tested examples <examples>`
- - supports :ref:`good integration practises <goodpractises>`
-
-- **provides no-boilerplate testing**
-
- - makes it :ref:`easy to get started <getstarted>`,
- - refined :ref:`usage options <usage>`
- - :ref:`assert with the assert statement`
- - helpful :ref:`traceback and failing assertion reporting <tbreportdemo>`
- - allows :ref:`print debugging <printdebugging>` and :ref:`the
-   capturing of standard output during test execution <captures>`
- - supports :pep:`8` compliant coding styles in tests
-
-- **supports functional testing and complex test setups**
-
- - advanced :ref:`skip and xfail`
- - generic :ref:`marking and test selection <mark>`
- - can :ref:`distribute tests to multiple CPUs <xdistcpu>` through :ref:`xdist plugin <xdist>`
- - can :ref:`continuously re-run failing tests <looponfailing>`
- - many :ref:`builtin helpers <pytest helpers>`
- - flexible :ref:`Python test discovery`
- - unique :ref:`dependency injection through funcargs <funcargs>`
- - :ref:`parametrized test functions <parametrized test functions>`
-
-- **integrates many common testing methods**
-
- - can integrate ``nose``, ``unittest.py`` and ``doctest.py`` style
-   tests, including running testcases made for Django and trial
- - supports extended :ref:`xUnit style setup <xunitsetup>`
- - supports domain-specific :ref:`non-python tests`
- - supports the generation of testing coverage reports
- - `Javascript unit- and functional testing`_
-
-- **extensive plugin and customization system**
-
- - all collection, reporting, running aspects are delegated to hook functions
- - customizations can be per-directory, per-project or per PyPI released plugins
- - it is easy to add command line options or do other kind of add-ons and customizations.
