Test Engine Client (bktec) v2.1.0: Custom test runner, split slow files by example, and tag filters for pytest

Test Engine Client (bktec) v2.1.0 introduces a new custom test runner and several improvements for pytest users.

🛠️ Custom test runner

You can now use bktec to split tests with any test runner that supports running specific test files via command-line arguments. For details, see the custom test runner documentation for Test Engine Client.

🐢 Split slow files by example (pytest)

You can now split slow test files by individual test examples when using pytest. This helps distribute long-running tests more evenly across agents and reduces build times.

🏷️ Tag filters (pytest)

The new --tag-filters option allows you to select and run tests based on a single key:value tag pair when using pytest.

Example:

bktec run --test-runner pytest --tag-filters "test.type:integration"

Read more about splitting slow files by example and tag filters in the Test Engine Client pytest documentation.
