Pytest is willing to participate in GSoC as a Python Suborg. This page will contain some project ideas and information to students who wish to apply.

A little about Pytest

The Pytest framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries. Pytest is widely used by many companies and projects all around the world, just to mention some: Mozilla, Splunk, Dropbox, Dolby Laboratories, etc. Python is obviously our main programming language, and we mainly use Github as control version.
