## High-Impact Migration Targets
47+
48+
### 🎯 Priority 1: CRITICAL Impact (50-60s potential savings)
49+
50+
#### Views/ Folder - 59.6s (50% of total runtime)
51+
**Profile:**
52+
- 962 tests total
53+
- 232 with AutoInitShutdown (37.9%)
54+
- 104 with SetupFakeDriver (17.0%)
55+
- **~380 tests with no attributes** (potential quick wins)
56+
57+
**Top Individual Files:**
58+
1. **TextViewTests.cs** - 105 tests, 9.26s, 0.088s/test
59+
- 41 AutoInitShutdown (39%)
60+
- 64 tests are potentially migratable
61+
62+
2. **TableViewTests.cs** - 80 tests, 5.38s, 0.055s/test
63+
- 45 SetupFakeDriver (56%)
64+
- 8 AutoInitShutdown
65+
- Many rendering tests that may need refactoring
66+
67+
3. **TileViewTests.cs** - 45 tests, 9.25s, 0.197s/test ⚠️ SLOWEST AVG
68+
- 42 AutoInitShutdown (93%)
69+
- High overhead per test - prime candidate for optimization
70+
71+
4. **TextFieldTests.cs** - 43 tests
72+
- 8 AutoInitShutdown (19%)
73+
- 3 SetupFakeDriver
74+
- ~32 tests likely migratable
75+
76+
5. **GraphViewTests.cs** - 42 tests
77+
- 24 AutoInitShutdown (57%)
78+
- ~18 tests potentially migratable
79+
80+
**Recommendation:** Focus on Views/ folder first
81+
- Extract simple property/event tests from TextViewTests
82+
- Refactor TileViewTests to reduce AutoInitShutdown usage
83+
- Split TableViewTests into unit vs integration tests
84+
85+
### 🎯 Priority 2: HIGH Impact (20-30s potential savings)
86+
87+
#### View/ Folder - 27.14s
88+
**Profile:**
89+
- 739 tests total
90+
- Wide distribution across subdirectories
91+
- Mix of layout, drawing, and behavioral tests
92+
93+
**Key subdirectories:**
94+
- View/Layout - 35 tests (6 AutoInit, 1 SetupDriver)
95+
- View/Draw - 37 tests (15 AutoInit, 17 SetupDriver)
96+
- View/Adornment - 25 tests (9 AutoInit, 10 SetupDriver)
97+
98+
**Top Files:**
99+
1. **GetViewsUnderLocationTests.cs** - 21 tests, NO attributes ✅
100+
- Easy migration candidate
101+
102+
2. **DrawTests.cs** - 17 tests
103+
- 10 AutoInitShutdown
104+
- 6 SetupFakeDriver
105+
- Mix that needs analysis
106+
107+
**Recommendation:**
108+
- Migrate GetViewsUnderLocationTests.cs immediately
109+
- Analyze layout tests for unnecessary Application dependencies
110+
111+
### 🎯 Priority 3: MEDIUM Impact (10-15s potential savings)
112+
113+
#### Dialogs/ Folder - 13.42s
114+
**Profile:**
115+
- 116 tests, 0.115s/test average (SLOW)
116+
- 40 AutoInitShutdown (80% usage rate!)
117+
- Heavy Application.Begin usage
118+
119+
**Files:**
120+
1. **DialogTests.cs** - 23 tests, all with AutoInitShutdown
121+
2. **MessageBoxTests.cs** - 11 tests, all with AutoInitShutdown
122+
123+
**Recommendation:**
124+
- These are true integration tests that likely need Application
125+
- Some could be refactored to test dialog construction separately from display
126+
- Lower priority for migration
127+
128+
#### Application/ Folder - 14.82s
129+
**Profile:**
130+
- 187 tests
131+
- 27 AutoInitShutdown (22.5%)
132+
- Heavy Application.Top usage (145 occurrences)
133+
134+
**Easy wins:**
135+
1. **MainLoopTests.cs** - 23 tests, NO attributes ✅ (already migrated)
136+
2. **ApplicationImplTests.cs** - 13 tests, NO attributes ✅
137+
3. **ApplicationPopoverTests.cs** - 10 tests, NO attributes ✅
138+
139+
**Recommendation:**
140+
- Migrate the remaining files with no attributes
141+
- Many Application tests genuinely need Application static state
142+
143+
## Performance by Test Pattern
144+
145+
### AutoInitShutdown Tests (449 tests, ~35% of total)
146+
147+
**Characteristics:**
148+
- Average 0.115s per test (vs 0.051s for no-attribute tests)
149+
- **2.25x slower than tests without attributes**
150+
- Creates Application singleton, initializes driver, sets up MainLoop
151+
- Calls Application.Shutdown after each test
152+
153+
**Top Files Using AutoInitShutdown:**
154+
1. TileViewTests.cs - 42 tests (93% usage)
155+
2. TextViewTests.cs - 41 tests (39% usage)
156+
3. MenuBarv1Tests.cs - 40 tests (95% usage)
157+
4. GraphViewTests.cs - 24 tests (57% usage)
158+
5. DialogTests.cs - 23 tests (100% usage)
159+
6. MenuBarTests.cs - 20 tests (111% - multiple per test method)
160+
161+
**Estimated Impact:** If 50% of AutoInitShutdown tests can be refactored:
162+
- ~225 tests × 0.064s overhead = **~14.4s savings**
163+
164+
### SetupFakeDriver Tests (198 tests, ~16% of total)
165+
166+
**Characteristics:**
167+
- Average 0.055s per test
168+
- Sets up Application.Driver globally
169+
- Many test visual output with DriverAssert
170+
- Less overhead than AutoInitShutdown but still blocks parallelization
171+
172+
**Top Files Using SetupFakeDriver:**
173+
1. TableViewTests.cs - 45 tests (56% usage)
174+
2. LineCanvasTests.cs - 30 tests (86% usage)
175+
3. TabViewTests.cs - 18 tests (53% usage)
176+
4. TextFormatterTests.cs - 18 tests (78% usage)
177+
5. ColorPickerTests.cs - 16 tests (100% usage)
178+
179+
**Estimated Impact:** If 30% can be refactored to remove driver dependency:
180+
- ~60 tests × 0.025s overhead = **~1.5s savings**
181+
182+
### Tests with No Attributes (622 tests, ~49% of total)
183+
184+
**Characteristics:**
185+
- Average 0.051s per test (fastest)
186+
- Should be immediately migratable
187+
- Many already identified in previous migration
188+
189+
**Top Remaining Files:**
190+
1. ConfigurationMangerTests.cs - 27 tests ✅ (already migrated)
191+
2. MainLoopTests.cs - 23 tests ✅ (already migrated)
192+
3. GetViewsUnderLocationTests.cs - 21 tests ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY**
193+
4. ConfigPropertyTests.cs - 18 tests (partial migration done)
194+
5. SchemeManagerTests.cs - 14 tests (partial migration done)
195+
196+
## Recommendations: Phased Approach
197+
198+
### Phase 1: Quick Wins (Estimated 15-20s savings, 1-2 days)
199+
200+
**Target:** 150-200 tests with no attributes
201+
202+
1. **Immediate migrations** (no refactoring needed):
203+
- GetViewsUnderLocationTests.cs (21 tests)
204+
- ApplicationImplTests.cs (13 tests)
205+
- ApplicationPopoverTests.cs (10 tests)
206+
- HexViewTests.cs (12 tests)
207+
- TimeFieldTests.cs (6 tests)
208+
- Various smaller files with no attributes
209+
210+
2. **Complete partial migrations**:
211+
- ConfigPropertyTests.cs (add 14 more tests)
212+
- SchemeManagerTests.cs (add 4 more tests)
213+
- SettingsScopeTests.cs (add 9 more tests)
214+
215+
**Expected Impact:** ~20s runtime reduction in UnitTests
216+
217+
### Phase 2: TextViewTests Refactoring (Estimated 4-5s savings, 2-3 days)
218+
219+
**Target:** Split 64 tests from TextViewTests.cs
220+
221+
1. Extract simple tests (no AutoInitShutdown needed):
222+
- Property tests (Text, Enabled, Visible, etc.)
223+
- Event tests (TextChanged, etc.)
224+
- Constructor tests
225+
226+
2. Extract tests that can use BeginInit/EndInit instead of Application.Begin:
227+
- Basic layout tests
228+
- Focus tests
229+
- Some selection tests
230+
231+
3. Leave integration tests in UnitTests:
232+
- Tests that verify rendering output
233+
- Tests that need actual driver interaction
234+
- Multi-component interaction tests
235+
236+
**Expected Impact:** ~4-5s runtime reduction
237+
238+
### Phase 3: TileViewTests Optimization (Estimated 4-5s savings, 2-3 days)
239+
240+
**Target:** Reduce TileViewTests from 9.25s to ~4s
241+
242+
TileViewTests has the highest average time per test (0.197s) - nearly 4x the normal rate!
243+
244+
**Analysis needed:**
245+
1. Why are these tests so slow?
246+
2. Are they testing multiple things per test?
247+
3. Can Application.Begin calls be replaced with BeginInit/EndInit?
248+
4. Are there setup/teardown inefficiencies?
249+
250+
**Approach:**
251+
1. Profile individual test methods
252+
2. Look for common patterns causing slowness
253+
3. Refactor to reduce overhead
254+
4. Consider splitting into multiple focused test classes
255+
256+
**Expected Impact:** ~5s runtime reduction
257+
258+
### Phase 4: TableViewTests Refactoring (Estimated 2-3s savings, 2-3 days)
259+
260+
**Target:** Extract ~35 tests from TableViewTests.cs
261+
262+
TableViewTests has 45 SetupFakeDriver usages for visual testing. However:
263+
- Some tests may only need basic View hierarchy (BeginInit/EndInit)
264+
- Some tests may be testing properties that don't need rendering
265+
- Some tests may be duplicating coverage
266+
267+
**Approach:**
268+
1. Categorize tests: pure unit vs rendering verification
269+
2. Extract pure unit tests to Parallelizable
270+
3. Keep rendering verification tests in UnitTests
271+
4. Look for duplicate coverage
272+
273+
**Expected Impact:** ~3s runtime reduction
274+
275+
### Phase 5: Additional View Tests (Estimated 10-15s savings, 1-2 weeks)
276+
277+
**Target:** 200-300 tests across multiple View test files
278+
279+
Focus on files with mix of attribute/no-attribute tests:
280+
- TextFieldTests.cs (43 tests, only 11 with attributes)
281+
- GraphViewTests.cs (42 tests, 24 AutoInit - can some be refactored?)
282+
- ListViewTests.cs (27 tests, 6 AutoInit)
283+
- LabelTests.cs (24 tests, 16 AutoInit + 3 SetupDriver)
284+
- TreeViewTests.cs (38 tests, 1 AutoInit + 9 SetupDriver)
285+
286+
**Expected Impact:** ~15s runtime reduction
287+
288+
## Summary of Potential Savings
289+
290+
| Phase | Tests Migrated | Estimated Savings | Effort | Priority |
291+
|-------|----------------|-------------------|--------|----------|
292+
| Phase 1: Quick Wins | 150-200 | 15-20s | 1-2 days | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
293+
| Phase 2: TextViewTests | 64 | 4-5s | 2-3 days | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
294+
| Phase 3: TileViewTests | 20-30 | 4-5s | 2-3 days | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
295+
| Phase 4: TableViewTests | 35 | 2-3s | 2-3 days | ⭐⭐⭐ |
296+
| Phase 5: Additional Views | 200-300 | 10-15s | 1-2 weeks | ⭐⭐⭐ |
297+
| **TOTAL** | **469-623 tests** | **35-48s** | **3-4 weeks** | |
298+
299+
**Target Runtime:**
300+
- Current: ~90s (UnitTests)
301+
- After all phases: **~42-55s (38-47% reduction)**
302+
- Combined with Parallelizable: **~102-115s total (vs 150s current = 23-32% reduction)**
303+
304+
## Key Insights
305+
306+
### Why Some Tests Are Slow
307+
308+
1. **AutoInitShutdown overhead** (0.064s per test):
309+
- Creates Application singleton
310+
- Initializes FakeDriver
311+
- Sets up MainLoop
312+
- Teardown and cleanup
313+
314+
2. **Application.Begin overhead** (varies):
315+
- Initializes view hierarchy
316+
- Runs layout engine
317+
- Sets up focus/navigation
318+
- Creates event loops
319+
320+
3. **Integration test nature**:
321+
- Dialogs/ tests average 0.115s/test
322+
- FileServices/ tests average 0.158s/test
323+
- Input/ tests average 0.515s/test (!)
324+
- These test full workflows, not units
325+
326+
### Migration Difficulty Assessment
327+
328+
**Easy (No refactoring):**
329+
- Tests with no attributes: 622 tests
330+
- Simply copy to Parallelizable and add base class
331+
332+
**Medium (Minor refactoring):**
333+
- Tests using SetupFakeDriver but not Application statics: ~60 tests
334+
- Replace SetupFakeDriver with inline driver creation if needed
335+
- Or remove driver dependency entirely
336+
337+
**Hard (Significant refactoring):**
338+
- Tests using AutoInitShutdown: 449 tests
339+
- Must replace Application.Begin with BeginInit/EndInit
340+
- Or split into unit vs integration tests
341+
- Or redesign test approach
342+
343+
**Very Hard (May not be migratable):**
344+
- True integration tests: ~100-150 tests
345+
- Tests requiring actual rendering verification
346+
- Tests requiring Application singleton behavior
347+
- Keep these in UnitTests
348+
349+
## Conclusion
350+
351+
The analysis reveals clear opportunities for significant performance improvements:
352+
353+
1. **Immediate impact:** 150-200 tests with no attributes can be migrated in 1-2 days for ~20s savings
354+
2. **High value:** TextViewTests and TileViewTests contain ~100 tests that can yield ~10s savings with moderate effort
355+
3. **Long-term:** Systematic refactoring of 469-623 tests could reduce UnitTests runtime by 38-47%
356+
357+
The Views/ folder is the critical bottleneck, representing 50% of runtime. Focusing migration efforts here will yield the greatest impact on CI/CD performance.
