Research direction
Read Lib/test/bisect_cmd.py and Victor Stinner’s linked blog post to understand the tool and its intended test workflow. Then locate the appropriate testing or debugging section of the devguide and document bisect_cmd there. Done means a newcomer can discover what it does and how to use it to find failing tests.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In 2017, Victor added a useful tool to find failing tests, bisect_cmd, and blogged about it. I wish I knew about it before!
IMO, the devguide should mention it.
