nose-timer

A timer plugin for nosetests that answers the question: how much time does every test takes?

Install

pip install nose-timer

Usage

Run nosetests with the --with-timer flag, and you will see a list of the tests and the time spent by each one (in seconds):

myapp.tests.ABigTestCase.test_the_world_is_running: 56.0010s
myapp.tests.ABigTestCase.test_the_rest_of_the_galaxy_is_running: 2356.0010s

How do I show only the n slowest tests?

For example, to show only the 10 slowest tests, run nosetests with --timer-top-n flag.

nosetests --with-timer --timer-top-n 10

How do I color the output and have pretty colors?

You can highlight slower tests using --timer-ok and --timer-warning flags.

• Tests which takes less time than --timer-ok will be highlighted green.
• Tests which takes less time than --timer-warning will be highlighted yellow.
• All other tests will be highlighted red.

How do I increase timer verbosity?

By default nose-timer outputs test times at the end of all tests. You can output test times after each test with --timer-verbose flag. Note that --vv should be enabled as well to view info logs.

nosetests --with-timer --timer-verbose -vv .
