Test case chaining

[Formartha]

Hi folks,

I got a usercase where I need to chain couple E2E tests together. The must run in a specific order and each will provide output to another test.

The trick is that all off the tests are huge, due to it - they sit under different python modules.

I thought about building a singleton adapter for it, but I tend to think that it's too much of an overhead.

Any ideas or a plugin that can do it?

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1123 (does pytest support to this way to collect test cases?), #3198 (Ignore individual tests), #1521 (High memory usage if tests called by test case name), #2076 (Case Scenario long integration test - including reference data), and #3478 (Print out only the test cases name).

We use a pytest plugin internally. Through this, we check for a particular marker in the runtest setup hook and check to see if this particular test depended on some other testcase and made sure that testcase had actually passed.
