How Long Does It Take To Run Your Regression Testing Set?

I want to dedicate this blog to a specific problem that we had during this iteration; this will be about regression testing.

This post is for people who have the same problem, therefore can benefit from it and get some ideas from what we are trying to do.

Our feedback time is giant (Too long to know if we broke anything after committing code). After performing a quick value stream map for the development task, we found out that we take between 24h to 48h depending on committed time and working hours.

Scenario I = 48 hours

Commit at 9:00 AM
Automatic build ready to be tested at 00:00 AM
Results at 6:00 PM (It takes 18h to run all the test cases, at this time developers are out from office)
Developers are back at 9:00 AM
