numpy.testing.decorators.slow()

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')
