Comment on Running three hours of Ruby tests in under three minutes

Comments

On a previous project, I had built a shell script that essentially created n mysql databases and just distributed the test files under n rails processes.

We were able to run tests that took an hour in about 3 minutes. It was good enough for us. Nothing sophisticated for evenly balancing the test files, but it was pretty good for 1-2 days of work.
