> Background to this is email from Oscar to dev list:
> We have implemented some BDD tests as Scenario Outlines [1].
> But just for one execution, is spending aprox. 15 min in completing a Scenario Outline with aprox. 20 scenarios.
> The problem is that they become really slow, as the whole Isis system is recreated for each example.
> Following best practices, Scenarios should be independent, but I think there should be ways to guarantee it without sacrificing speed.
> - Isis System does not need to be recreated (introspected) for each Scenario, as the source code has not changed.
> - Database can be recreated, or perhaps there's an "abstraction" on DataNucleus or JDBC to empty a DataStore without re-creating the table structure from the JDO annotations.
> Perhaps are other alternatives to improve their speed that does not require refactoring the Isis BDD integrations tests implementation?
