Description:
Continuous integration is a great way to keep your code base clean and well tested, but if the suite takes too long to run developers lose their constant feedback loop. We'll explore methods of speeding up your test suite from cheap 5-minute operating system tweaks to external tools that will run your tests on multiple cores and servers. You won't believe how fast we run our tests.

Nick has a casual, relaxed presence, but still delivers his message powerfully. I loved the dramatic story of test speed decrease on his project (13m to < 1min), as well as the "Price is Right"-style audience participation!
