-You can run the test suite much more quickly via "make -j test" (as
-compared to "make test"), at the expense of slightly more confusing
-output (interleaved parallel test output), and inaccurate intermediate
-success/failure counts, but the final counts displayed should be
-correct.
+Individual tests can be run via
+
+ ./pytest TEST
+
+For example:
+
+ ./pytest test/int/test_git.py
+ ./pytest test/ext/test-ftp
+
+If you have the xdist module installed, then you can specify its `-n`
+option to run the tests in parallel (e.g. `./pytest -nauto ...`), or
+you can specify `-j` to make, which will be translated to xdist with
+`-j` becoming `-nauto` and `-jN` becoming `-nN`.
