All test suites start fast. But as you grow your set of tests, each test adds a little bit of time to the suite.
Some things, like parallelization, are applicable to many domains.
What about, for instance, Django applications?
Well, Adam Johnson has thought about it a lot, and is here to tell us how we can speed up our Django test suites.
Topics include:
- parallelizing tests
- moving from disk to memory
- using fake data and factory functions
- targeted mocking
