PyTest Extension for SpiraTest

This version of the plugin is compatible with Python 3.x and SpiraTest/SpiraTeam/SpiraPlan 6.+

The latest documentation for using this extension can be found at http://spiradoc.inflectra.com/Unit-Testing-Integration/Integrating-with-PyTest/

Performance Optimization

The plugin is optimized to have zero overhead when disabled. If you're not using Spira integration, you can disable it in several ways:

Option 1: CLI Flag (Fastest - Zero Overhead)

pytest --spira-disabled

Option 2: Configuration File

Set enabled = false in your spira.cfg:

[settings]
enabled = false

Option 3: Remove Config Files

If you're not using Spira at all, simply don't include spira.cfg or .env.spira files in your project.

Performance Notes

• When disabled, the plugin performs minimal checks and exits immediately
• No configuration parsing or file I/O occurs after the first test when disabled
• Tests run at full speed with no measurable overhead from the plugin
