Running Tests

In this section:

Introduction

PyCharm makes it possible to run all tests in a container, individual tests or test methods. For each one, PyCharm provides a temporary run-debug configuration that can be saved if necessary as a permanent one.

Note also that the commands shown in the context menu, are context-sensitive, that is the testing command that shows depends on the test runner and the place where this command is invoked.
