# numpy.testing.decorators.setastest

`numpy.testing.decorators.``setastest`(tf=True)

  Signals to nose that this function is or is not a test.

  Parameters: | tf : bool If True, specifies that the decorated callable is a test. If False, specifies that the decorated callable is not a test. Default is True.

  Notes

  This decorator can’t use the nose namespace, because it can be called from a non-test module. See also `istest` and `nottest` in `nose.tools`.

  Examples

  `setastest` can be used in the following way:

      from numpy.testing.decorators import setastest

      @setastest(False)
      def func_with_test_in_name(arg1, arg2):
          pass
