Here are some advantages: * `Manage test dependencies with pytest fixtures. <https://pytest.org/en/latest/how-to/fixtures.html>`_ * Less boilerplate tests: no need to import unittest, create a subclass with methods. Write tests as regular functions. * Database re-use: no need to re-create the test database for every test run. * Run tests in multiple processes for increased speed (with the pytest-xdist plugin). * Make use of other `pytest plugins <https://pytest.org/en/latest/how-to/plugins.html>`_. * Works with both worlds: Existing unittest-style TestCase's still work without any modifications. See the `pytest documentation <https://pytest.org/en/latest/>`_ for more information on pytest itself.
