Faster Rust Testing at Scale: cargo-nextest in Practice

Livestream
Agenda

Running tests in large Rust workspaces can be slow with the default test runner. Many teams rely on cargo-nextest for faster, more scalable execution.

In this livestream, Vitaly Bragilevsky will be joined by Rain, the author of cargo-nextest, to discuss modern Rust testing workflows. They’ll cover why nextest was created, how it improves performance and reliability, and how teams can integrate it into their development and CI pipelines.

We want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Rain for their work on cargo-nextest, which has significantly improved the Rust developer experience. If you find the tool valuable, consider supporting the project to help drive its future development: https://github.com/sponsors/sunshowers.
