Testing a param

Given test_file.py with this test:

import pytest
@pytest.mark.parametrize("params", [True, False])
def test_param(params):
    pass

Use the --param=first command line option to test the True param:

Use --param=last to test the False param:

$ py.test --param=last test_file.py

Use --param=random to test one of the params at random.
