This is why it's important to separate your tests into separate files for different areas of functionality. You can run a single test file to ensure you haven't broken the functionality immediately surrounding the code you're editing, but you don't need to run the full suite every time, and periodically run the whole test suite.

That said, if you only run your entire suite periodically, the time spent figuring out which update broke a remote part of your project might be more costly than just running the whole suite on each change.

Typically, I run my full suite on each change. On my bigger projects with dozens of test files with thousands of tests, I at minimum run the suite on each commit prior to pushing, then on each push, Travis-CI runs the gamut on 4-8 versions as well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
