A Complete Guide to Optimizing Slow Tests
Blog post from Semaphore
An open-source guide has been released to help developers write and maintain fast tests, addressing the challenges posed by slow test suites, such as loss of developer focus, delayed development cycles, dampened feedback, and increased operational costs. The guide is intended for developers of all skill levels, CTOs, Directors of Engineering, and engineering teams seeking to optimize test suites and CI/CD pipelines, as well as to maximize the benefits of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). By enhancing testing efficiency, the guide aims to support faster shipping and improved quality assurance in development processes. A free copy of the guide is available for download, and interested individuals are encouraged to join a Discord community for further discussion.
