Jason S:

I posted [this question on StackOverflow.](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26664029/pytest-recording-results-in-addition-to-the-pass-fail) I am working with some Python testing for some peer-to-peer networking with an embedded system. In particular there is some functionality that is very hard to perform a completely automated test. There are a lot of things I can write clear pass/fail tests, but others that are more difficuIt, and in addition to the PASS or FAIL status of each of the tests, I would like to record additional auxiliary information that a human being can spot-check just to make sure I haven't missed something obvious and should add another test.

Is there a way to use pytest to associate auxiliary information with a particular test?
