The pytest-xdist plugin extends pytest with new test execution modes, the most used being distributing tests across multiple CPUs to speed up test execution:
pytest -n auto
With this call, pytest will spawn a number of workers processes equal to the number of available CPUs, and distribute the tests randomly across them.
