Metadata

  • Branch: test/ci-execution-time/smoke-test-performance
  • Commit Message: test(ci): investigate and optimize smoke test suite performance
  • Milestone: (backlog — see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #2810

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.5.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Summary

During an analysis of CI execution times, it was observed that pull request #4821, titled 'fix(test): address review findings in M3 smoke tests', had a CI run time of over 2 hours (2h 11m 58s). This suggests that the smoke test suite may be a significant bottleneck in the CI/CD pipeline.

This task is to investigate the performance of the smoke tests and identify opportunities for optimization. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Analyzing the smoke test suite to identify slow-running tests.
  • Optimizing test setup and teardown procedures.
  • Investigating opportunities for parallelization of the smoke test suite.
  • Ensuring that smoke tests are appropriately scoped and not performing redundant or overly complex checks.

Subtasks

  • Analyze the smoke test suite to identify performance bottlenecks.
  • Propose a plan for optimizing the smoke tests.
  • Implement the proposed optimizations.
  • Verify that the optimizations have improved the CI execution time.

Definition of Done

  • The performance of the smoke test suite has been analyzed and bottlenecks have been identified.
  • A plan for optimizing the smoke tests has been created and implemented.
  • The CI execution time for the smoke test suite has been significantly reduced.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.

Hierarchical Compliance Fix: This issue was detected as an orphan (no parent Epic).

Solution: Linked this issue to Epic #5407 (EPIC: Testing Infrastructure Improvements — Coverage, CI Pipeline, Dependencies & Test Levels) based on scope similarity — this is a CI execution time optimization task that fits within the testing infrastructure epic.

Hierarchy: Issue #7837 → Epic #5407 → Legendary #5406 (Testing Infrastructure & Quality Hardening)

Next Steps: This issue is now properly structured and ready for implementation.
