Something that I've recently added to my PHP projects is Paratest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

It adds parallel testing to PHPUnit, so your tests will be run in parallel instead of sequentially.<\/p>\n\n

For the example module in my automated testing in Drupal email course<\/a>, using Paratest reduces the execution time from ~16 seconds to ~8 seconds.<\/p>\n\n

In a client project with 136 tests, it reduces the time from four and a half minutes to less than two minutes.<\/p>\n\n

This is a big improvement just from running a single Composer command to add Paratest.<\/p>\n\n

There's also an open issue<\/a> for using it for Drupal core's tests, which is something I'll keep an eye on and will look to contribute to.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
