+The pytest-xdist plugin extends pytest with some unique test execution modes:

+      development or to use special resources of remote machines.
+
+    * --looponfail: run your tests repeatedly in a subprocess. After
+        each run pytest waits until a file in your project changes and
+        then re-runs the previously failing tests. This is repeated
+        until all tests pass after which again a full run is
+        performed.
+
+    * Multi-Platform coverage: you can specify different Python
+      interpreters or different platforms and run tests in parallel on
+      all of them.
+
+Before running tests remotely, pytest efficiently “rsyncs” your
+program source code to the remote place. All test results are reported
+back and displayed to your local terminal. You may specify different
