> I see no one's answered this yet. I was hoping for more clarification lest my (mis)understanding hampers things. You have a large data structure to share across tests and I assume either some code builds it and others than need it or it's expensive to build? If it's the former, it implies an ordering dependency and coupling in your tests which greatly lowers their utility. > > If the structure is simply expensive, have you considered running tests in a single process to ensure the data structure doesn't go away?

Same for me. I simply didn't understand what the original mail meant. Not at all! Nadim.
