Test-suite speed loop
Make a test suite faster without losing coverage or behavior, proving each improvement with repeatable timing.
Use this when slow tests are causing real workflow drag.
- Capture a timing baseline under repeatable conditions.
- Identify the slowest tests or setup phases.
- Improve one bottleneck at a time without deleting coverage.
- Run the full suite and coverage report after each meaningful change.
- Compare against the baseline with the same timing method.
- Document any tradeoffs.
Stop when the target runtime is reached or remaining work is explicit and owned.
