Ask HN: What do you do when your tests are running?

4 points by Kmaschta 9y ago ↗ HN

Tests can take ages to run. It's pretty unproductive to just wait and it's hard to focus on something else in the meantime.

How do you spend this precious time?

As you can see, personally I read HN. But I'm sure there are more productive things to do.

Read news/technology articles (hacker news) or work on a task for another client :). If I don't distract myself I find myself making changes in the code requiring me to stop and start my tests again.
