I try to use small files under say 10kb if possible - partly as smaller unit tests are often easier to diagnose when they break, but also as noted above to reduce overhead for version control, and the ToolShed upload/download time. 50mb does sound excessive, but if that's the minimum maybe it is still better than no test at all? > Providing gz > input files would be one option to get it down to 10mb, but that does > not work and it's still 10mb ... I thought the test framework would allow you to provide gzipped input since it uses the upload tool internally which would handle this. If that breaks I'd consider it a bug. Gzipped output files might be more difficult, since the validation is based on direct file comparison.
