Quick Reference
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
| Rerun Only Failed Tests | Cache results and rerun only failed tests. Reduces CI time by 40-60%. |
The Problem
Running full test suites on every commit increases time and cost:- Long feedback loops - Full suites take 10-30+ minutes, delaying developer feedback
- High CI costs - CI minutes accumulate quickly across teams and branches
- Slow deployments - Waiting for full test runs slows release velocity
- Flaky test noise - Re-running everything amplifies flaky test impact and blocks merges
How TestDino Extends Playwright
Playwright@playwright/[email protected]+ includes native --last-failed support. TestDino adds:
- Cross-runner caching - Results persist across different CI runners
- Shard awareness - Works with parallelized test execution
- Workflow-level persistence - Cache survives job restarts
- Branch/commit tracking - Results tied to specific code changes
