--------------------------------------

             Summary: Speed up the tests.
                 Key: MESOS-1757
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-1757
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: technical debt, test
            Reporter: Benjamin Mahler


The full test suite is exceeding the 7 minute mark (440 seconds on my machine), this epic is to track techniques to improve this:

# The reaper takes a full second to reap an exited process (MESOS-1199), this adds a second to each slave recovery test, and possibly more for things that rely on Subprocess.
# The command executor sleeps for a second when shutting down (MESOS-442), this adds a second to every test that uses the command executor.
# Now that the master and the slave have to perform sync'ed disk writes, consider using a ramdisk to speed up the disk writes.

Additional options that hopefully will not be necessary:

# Use automake's [parallel test harness|http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Parallel-Test-Harness.html] to compile tests separately and run tests in parallel.
