Research direction

The issue names no specific files or tests. It says the current filtering discards a whole test when any element is selected, and that analysis should return metric dictionaries callable outside pytest. Start by reading the existing filter and analysis code in the repository, then decide the design with maintainers before writing code. Done would mean a written design agreed in the thread, since the issue itself does not define a concrete change.

Description

enhancement
Summary

Filtering currently works in a basic form, where if any element in a test is selected, the whole test is discarded.

In many cases, it would be much more preferable to exclude specific data points from the metric calculated instead. This requires a few additional changes:

  • Analysis most likely should be rewritten in a form where the metric dictionary can be returned as a function callable outside of pytest (so so reducing dependencies on filters)
  • Applications will need custom filter functions, which will require processing of data to pass to the metric getter function. For example, this could be a masked list of errors from data taken from the app's scatter plot.

This could become quite expensive to run.
