Obviously one can have a ton of trivial tests that run in very little time. That doesn't demonstrate a lack of bias. The bias was not contemplating the possibility that an extensive test suite could take much more than 20 minutes to run. In my experience, extensive test suites on a company-wide scale usually take quite a bit more than 20 minutes to run, so I don't consider such to be an 'outlier' as characterized by Ovid to dismiss the criticism. But I'd not have set the upper limit on number of tests at 10,000 either. I'm sure we each have over 100,000 tests at my current and previous employer.

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).
