I haven't looked at the exact running time recently, but I'd expect there are thousands of tests that run in a fraction of a second. The 10 second guideline is a guideline rather than a strict requirement, but I would encourage tests that run that long or longer to be refactored or split into pieces (or for a very long-running test, moved to a higher numbered tier). The tier 1 tests are run all the time so there is value in keeping the aggregate running time of the tier 1 tests as a whole down and if the tests are (nearly) all short-running the test suite is more parallelizable and there are fewer Amdahl's law hazards. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16384#issuecomment-1782172053
