I am new in the software testing domain and I had a question regarding the execution speed of the test cases. I created some test cases using Cucumber(Java language) and Specflow (C# language), where Cucumber is run in Katalon Studio and Specflow is run in Visual Studio.
However, when executing these test cases, I get different results in terms of executing speed. For example, running a test case for a specific feature in Cucumber takes 30 seconds, while in Specflow for the same feature it takes 8 seconds.
May I ask you what are some factors that affects the executing speed of the test cases?
Thank you all in advance!
It is not easy to pin down what is the main factor affecting test case speed. It could be any of the following (and maybe more):
