Acceptance tests are slow. How do we get them fast?

Acceptance testing, whatever your preferred flavor, e.g. Cucumber or Coulda, are super-helpful. But once you have a large enough suite of tests, they can sometimes run upwards of 10 minutes!

Other than making Rack, Rails, Ruby, or our computers faster, how can we make our acceptance tests run fast enough to be useful for TDD?

In this blog post, I explore a possible solution. I’d like your help to vet it.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
