About:
cargo-nextest is a next-generation test runner for Rust projects that runs tests in parallel across isolated processes. It provides detailed diagnostics, rich test output, and faster execution compared to the standard cargo test command. The tool is designed to improve developer productivity with features like test retries, filtering, and machine-readable output.
Key Features:
  • Parallel test execution with process isolation
  • Rich, configurable output and diagnostics
  • Built-in test retry and flaky test handling
  • Fast and memory-efficient execution
Use Cases:
  • Running large Rust test suites faster in CI/CD pipelines
  • Identifying and managing flaky tests in development workflows
Alternatives:
  • cargo test – Standard Rust test runner; cargo-nextest offers better parallelism, isolation, and richer output
