Walking through the steps to go from pytest-skip-slow to pytest-skip-slow-full will help you learn how to build and test a plugin.

The supplied source code includes the following:

• local (the local conftest plugin)
• pytest-skip-slow (just the copy from local into new names)
• pytest-skip-slow-full (a possible final layout for the completed plugin)
