I made a Python 3.6+ testing framework called Ward (
https://wardpy.com/) that I hope can be a compelling alternative to pytest!
Quick overview of features:
* Describe your tests using strings instead of function names
* Fixtures that use the Python import system instead of name matching
* ~50% of the framework overhead of pytest
* Highly readable, colourful output including coloured diffs
* Support for parameterised testing
* Configurable with pyproject.toml, but has sensible defaults
* Ability to search for tests based on descriptions and test bodies
* Supports Linux, MacOS, and Windows
* Uses type hints!
* Hypothesis works out of the box, and soon fixtures will regenerate on each example
I'd love to hear any constructive feedback :)
If you're interested in this project, I'd love to see more contributions from the community. The codebase is relatively small at the moment!
