numpy.testing.decorators.slow — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)

numpy.testing.decorators.slow(t)[source]¶

Label a test as ‘slow’.

The exact definition of a slow test is obviously both subjective and hardware-dependent, but in general any individual test that requires more than a second or two should be labeled as slow (the whole suite consits of thousands of tests, so even a second is significant).

Examples

The numpy.testing module includes import decorators as dec. A test can be decorated as slow like this:

from numpy.testing import *

@dec.slow def test_big(self): print('Big, slow test')
