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

Based on hpk42's answer, here's my slightly modified incremental mark that makes test cases xfail if the previous test failed (but not if it xfailed or it was skipped). This code has to be added to conftest.py:

import pytest

try:
    pytest.skip()
except BaseException as e:
    Skipped = type(e)

try:
    pytest.xfail()
except BaseException as e:
    XFailed = type(e)

def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
    if "incremental" in item.keywords:
        if call.excinfo is not None:
            if call.excinfo.type in {Skipped, XFailed}:
                return

            parent = item.parent
            parent._previousfailed = item

def pytest_runtest_setup(item):
    previousfailed = getattr(item.parent, "_previousfailed", None)
    if previousfailed is not None:
        pytest.xfail("previous test failed (%s)" % previousfailed.name)

And then a collection of test cases has to be marked with @pytest.mark.incremental:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.incremental
class TestWhatever:
    def test_a(self):  # this will pass
        pass

    def test_b(self):  # this will be skipped
        pytest.skip()

    def test_c(self):  # this will fail
        assert False

    def test_d(self):  # this will xfail because test_c failed
        pass

    def test_e(self):  # this will xfail because test_c failed
        pass
