Check this manaual. You should define your argument by using parser.addoption method in hook pytest_addoption, at file conftest.py. Then you can get value of your argument by checking request.config.getoption method:

# /home/user/conftest.py
def pytest_addoption(parser):
    parser.addoption('--stringvalue', action='store', dest='stringvalue')

# /home/user/test_first.py
def test_test1(request):
    assert 'checkme' == request.config.getoption('stringvalue')

$ py.test /home/user/test_first.py --stringvalue checkme
