Automated CI: Streamlining Development Workflows

As I prepare to embark on Continuous Integration (CI), I have a sophisticated automated verification system in place. However, my concern lies in the fact that the automation runs only after the developer code is pushed to the cloud multiple times throughout the day. The entire automation process takes roughly 1 hour to complete all tests.

I am contemplating whether this duration is acceptable or not. If not, I am seeking advice on how to reduce this time. Are there specific methods or tools that could assist me in speeding up the testing process?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Perhaps considering running automated tests at the close of each day could be beneficial. I faced a similar dilemma and found that using cron jobs set for midnight was the solution.

It may be worth contemplating this approach to avoid testing with every build.

If automated testing is necessary for every build, consider integrating nodes (such as Jenkins). By adding extra nodes and running tests on multiple machines, efficiency can be improved. I employed a similar strategy with BitRise.

To streamline your test cases, divide them logically—group logins in one run and negative test cases separately, for example.

Break down test cases into smaller sections, focusing on core tests during each build and conducting a complete run at the day's end.

There are multiple strategies to speed up testing, many of which do not involve programming directly.

However, programmatically enhancing test speed through parallelization, concurrent runs, grids, etc., can make a significant difference.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful,
