I can believe this. I've been put on slop duty, and had the slopmachine go all

Time to run the test to ensure everything is good. It passed. Good. Let's run the entire suite to ensure no regressions. All tests passed, yay.

And I'm here thinking, if you're gonna run the whole suite anyway, why'd you run an individual test? That's just redundant.

It's pretty much what i do when i think i'm done. Run the test(s) for the stuff i touched, then the whole suite to make sure nothing else broke. Why would i take all that time to run the whole suite every time?

Obviously when I work I don't run the entire suite, that'd be a waste of time. When I'm finished, I run the entire suite, I don't sit and run the tests I've been testing against as I'm working because I already expect those to pass.

If they don't, that's caught when I run the entire suite. I don't sit and run individual tests followed by the entire suite.
