PyTest - Markers

What will be the outcome when running this pytest code?

import pytest

@pytest.mark.xfail
def test_example():
    assert 3 > 5

AThe test will be reported as xfailed (expected failure) and not cause the suite to fail

BThe test will pass normally

CThe test will be skipped

DThe test will fail and cause the test suite to fail

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand xfail marker
The @pytest.mark.xfail marker marks a test as expected to fail.
Step 2: Analyze the assertion
The assertion 3 > 5 is false, so the test would normally fail.
Step 3: Effect of xfail
Since the test is expected to fail, pytest reports it as 'xfail' and does not count it as a failure in the test suite.
Final Answer:
The test will be reported as xfailed (expected failure) and not cause the suite to fail -> Option A
Quick Check:
xfail marks expected failures [OK]

Quick Trick: xfail marks tests expected to fail without failing suite [OK]
