How to skip the rest of tests in the class if one has failed?

Question

I\'m creating the test cases for web-tests using Jenkins, Python, Selenium2(webdriver) and Py.test frameworks.

So far I\'m organizing my tests in the following str

To complement hpk42's answer, you can also use pytest-steps to perform incremental testing, this can help you in particular if you wish to share some kind of incremental state/intermediate results between the steps.

With this package you do not need to put all the steps in a class (you can, but it is not required), simply decorate your "test suite" function with @test_steps:

from pytest_steps import test_steps

def step_a():
    # perform this step ...
    print("step a")
    assert not False  # replace with your logic

def step_b():
    # perform this step
    print("step b")
    assert not False  # replace with your logic

@test_steps(step_a, step_b)
def test_suite_no_shared_results(test_step):
    # Execute the step
    test_step()

You can add a steps_data parameter to your test function if you wish to share a StepsDataHolder object between your steps.

import pytest
from pytest_steps import test_steps, StepsDataHolder

def step_a(steps_data):
    # perform this step ...
    print("step a")
    assert not False  # replace with your logic

    # intermediate results can be stored in steps_data
    steps_data.intermediate_a = 'some intermediate result created in step a'

def step_b(steps_data):
    # perform this step, leveraging the previous step's results
    print("step b")

    # you can leverage the results from previous steps... 
    # ... or pytest.skip if not relevant
    if len(steps_data.intermediate_a) < 5:
        pytest.skip("Step b should only be executed if the text is long enough")

    new_text = steps_data.intermediate_a + " ... augmented"  
    print(new_text)
    assert len(new_text) == 56

@test_steps(step_a, step_b)
def test_suite_with_shared_results(test_step, steps_data: StepsDataHolder):

    # Execute the step with access to the steps_data holder
    test_step(steps_data)

Finally, you can automatically skip or fail a step if another has failed using @depends_on, check in the documentation for details.
