2025-05-11doc: Start improving our pytest documentationTom Rini
Begin the work of documenting all of our pytests. To do this, we should have a directory under develop for it as there will be a large number of new files. As the current document is referenced externally in a number of locations, add the sphinx_reredirects module so that we can redirect from the old location to the new.

This should have been adapted directly with or after v2021.01-693-gca6583d4e08 ("doc: move test/README to HTML documentation") or v2021.01-694-g0157619d5c8 ("doc: move test/py/README.md to HTML documentation") already.

2022-09-12Makefile: Add a pcheck option to run tests in parallelSimon Glass
Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a 'make pcheck' option to access this feature. Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example, the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures. Update the documentation to represent the current state. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2021-03-12doc: Explain how to run tests without pytestSimon Glass
Add details about how to run a sandbox test directly, without using pytest. This is more convenient for rapid development, since it is faster and allows easier use of a debugger. Also mention sandbox_flattree as an example of the different sandbox builds available. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
