+
+The ``pytest`` framework makes it easy to write small tests, yet
+scales to support complex functional testing for applications and libraries.
+
+An example of a simple test:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # content of test_sample.py
+    def inc(x):
+        return x + 1
+
+    def test_answer():
+        assert inc(3) == 5
+
+
+To execute it::
+
+    $ pytest
+    ============================= test session starts =============================    
+    collected 1 items
+
+    test_sample.py F
+
+    ================================== FAILURES ===================================
+    _________________________________ test_answer _________________________________
+
+        def test_answer():
+    >       assert inc(3) == 5
+    E       assert 4 == 5
+    E        +  where 4 = inc(3)
+
+    test_sample.py:5: AssertionError
+    ========================== 1 failed in 0.04 seconds ===========================
+
+
+Due to ``pytest``'s detailed assertion introspection, only plain ``assert`` statements are used. See `getting-started <http://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#our-first-test-run>`_ for more examples.
