OK, well I guess this would be another caveat for my advice. If bringing up a production simulacra would take more resources than you have, then you might have to lean more on various types of doubles. This may be more often in environments that have insane prioritization of dev time vs. machine resources.
If I may ask, what was the bottleneck in your test suite? Did it saturate the cpu, ram, disk?
- tigershark 9y agoI don’t really remember. The software was a kind of ORM but it was built to interface the java code with an object database, so it doesn’t make much sense to call it ORM. Probably the main bottlenecks were cpu and disk if I have to guess. I arrived very late in the project, at the point where we were going to migrate everything to oracle and we had to add oracle support to that behemoth.
