Running tests in a boxed subprocess Running tests in a boxed subprocess
----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
If you have tests involving C or C++ libraries you might have to deal This functionality has been moved to the

py.test --boxed
which will run each test in a subprocess and will report if a test
crashed the process. You can also combine this option with
running multiple processes to speed up the test run and use your CPU cores::
py.test -n3 --boxed
this would run 3 testing subprocesses in parallel which each
create new boxed subprocesses for each test.
