TestProf is a collection of different tools to analyze your test suite performance.
Why does test suite performance matter? First of all, testing is a part of a developer's feedback loop (see [@searls](https://github.com/searls) [talk](https://vimeo.com/145917204)) and, secondly, it is a part of a deployment cycle.
Simply speaking, slow tests waste your time making you less productive.
TestProf toolbox aims to help you identify bottlenecks in your test suite. It contains:
- Plug'n'Play integrations for general Ruby profilers ([`ruby-prof`](https://github.com/ruby-prof/ruby-prof), [`stackprof`](https://github.com/tmm1/stackprof))
- Factories usage analyzers and profilers
- ActiveSupport-backed profilers
- RSpec and minitest [helpers](https://test-prof.evilmartians.io/#/?id=recipes) to write faster tests
- RuboCop cops
- etc.

TestProf is built by Evil Martians, an American design and engineering consultancy for developer tools, AI, and cybersecurity startups.
