Pytest fixture scopes

Fixtures are created when first requested by a test, and are destroyed based on their scope:

• function: the default scope, the fixture is destroyed at the end of the test.
• class: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the class.
• module: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the module.
• package: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the package.
• session: the fixture is destroyed at the end of the test session.

Note: Pytest only caches one instance of a fixture at a time, which means that when using a parametrized fixture, pytest may invoke a fixture more than once in the given scope.
