    Thanks for posting about this! I'm the main author of nextest, and it represents my best foot forward for how Rust testing should be done. Happy to answer questions though I might be a bit intermittent.

      Big fan of nextest and this is my first time seeing this site. I'll be real I feel a bit ridiculous commenting this but you might want to consider rephrasing this:

      >Treat tests as cattle, not pets. Detect and terminate slow tests.

      Not sure saying, "hey, treat your tests as an animal you can kill at will" paints the right image.

        This is from the Kubernetes saying of "treat servers like cattle, not pets". Of course, some people like me keep cattle as pets, but then again I also name my servers, even the virtual or containerised ones.

          Yeah that was indeed the inspiration (though I'm pretty sure it predates Kubernetes!) but the juxtaposition with "terminate" is unfortunate.

        That's fair! I'll find a way to rephrase it.

        edit: Updated to "Detect and handle slow tests". Thanks again!

    I love nextest, it's been great. This along with bacon catches a lot of issues.

    I somehow tried to make sense of the name as a superlative form of "next". Perhaps next-test would have been fine?

      That is indeed the pun =)

    Anybody using this in production?

    edit: Thanks, will try!

      Yes, for a long while – I believe it's fairly widely used (and it's absolutely excellent!)

      Yes, been using it for 18’ish months. Works great.
