Shortest: Accelerate Your CI Suite Execution

In modern software development, Continuous Integration (CI) is a critical practice that ensures code quality and rapid delivery. However, as projects grow, CI suites often become slower, delaying feedback and reducing productivity. Shortest is designed to solve this problem by optimizing your CI pipeline for maximum efficiency.

Why CI Speed Matters

A slow CI suite can create bottlenecks in your development workflow:

• Developers wait longer for test results
• Merge conflicts increase with delayed feedback
• Deployment cycles become unpredictable
• Resource costs escalate with inefficient runs

How Shortest Works

Shortest implements intelligent test selection and parallelization to dramatically reduce CI execution time:

• Smart Test Selection: Only runs tests affected by recent code changes
• Optimal Parallelization: Distributes tests across available resources
• Dependency Analysis: Identifies and resolves bottlenecks in your test suite
• Historical Data: Uses past run data to predict optimal execution paths

Key Benefits

Teams using Shortest typically see significant improvements:

• 50-80% reduction in CI suite execution time
• More frequent deployments with faster feedback
• Lower infrastructure costs through efficient resource usage
• Improved developer experience with quicker iterations

Getting Started

Integrating Shortest into your existing CI pipeline is straightforward. The solution works with all major CI platforms and requires minimal configuration. Most teams see noticeable improvements within their first few runs as the system learns their test patterns.

By focusing on execution efficiency without compromising test coverage, Shortest helps development teams maintain velocity as their projects scale. The result is faster feedback, quicker deployments, and more productive developers.
