Discussion on: How long does it take for your test suite to run?

I try to keep it down to 15 minutes (including end to end) because any longer than that and people start complaining. If you've already optimized your tests consider running multiple builds concurrently.

Yeah, I think 15 minutes is a good timeframe. Do you run multiple builds concurrently now?

I implemented it on some projects in the past, yes. If I didn't the CI run would've probably lasted 50+min.

Yep. I’ve worked at places with where an entire run is between 2 and 3 hours without running test concurrently.
