Hi, I was just wondering as to how developers go about running unit tests before they wanna submit a patch. I am not asking about testing the functionality of the patches, but about the whole suite of regression test cases.
Firstly I end up running the whole suite without a the patch and second with patch and compare the results. But it turns out most of the times there's always inconsistency. Meaning to say a few tests are erratic. The fail while running the whole suite and pass when run alone. Moreover running the whole test suite takes about 2 hours. This is taking a lot of time for me to work on the simplest of the patches. Could you please share some practices which devs usually follow before submitting patches? It would be of great help. Thanks a lot Cheers, Akash A
