It really depends on your setup. Obviously, the more complex your application and the more tests you write, the longer it will take to run your test suite.

We use Guard to run only a limited subset of tests that’s related to what we’re implementing at the moment. I will probably cover Guard in a future blog post.

There are several other techniques to speed up your tests like running them in parallel or reducing database access. I personally can live with 1:27, but once it starts to annoy me again I will definitely investigate further methods and write a blog post about it.

How is your test setup? And what are your tricks to get around speed issues?
