Description
How can I run the tests of third party apps? With the default Django test runner, it would be as trivial as issuing: ./manage.py <name_of_the_installed_app>
But this seems not to be the case with pytest. If I install a third-party app and put it inside the istalled_app, how can I run the app's tests using pytest?

The issue names no files or tests. Start by comparing pytest-django's documented test invocation with Django's default test-runner behavior, then verify how an installed third-party app's tests are selected; done means documenting a reproducible command or clearly stating the supported behavior.
