  • opts: --setup-timeout, --execution-timeout and --teardown-timeout
  • ini: setup_timeout, execution_timeout and teardown_timeout
  • mark: setup_timeout, execution_timeout and teardown_timeout
• fixed order of timeout settings: opts > markers > ini, controlled by --timeouts-order
• --timeouts-order allow change order of override timeout settings, and disable some settings, i.e. --timeout-order i disable markers and opts, any combination is allow
• timeout disabled when debugging with PDB
