Hi,
We have a fair number of tests using Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst. The startup time in these is slow enough (approx 20 seconds) that it is inconvenient for development, because our total test run is almost 1 hr.
Most of these tests have identical setup actions, and do not alter the db they run against.
The hardware is sub par, which is one obvious way to address this. Another would be to start a server and run the tests against that. Are there others? Something clever like using Storable to freeze the initialized Catalyst app to disk, and have the test setup simply retrieve it?
Thanks,
Richard
