Highly Interactive Testing for Uninterrupted Development Flow
Highly interactive development environments (HIDEs) enable uninterrupted development flow through continuous program evolution and rapid hypothesis checking. However, traditional testing approaches -- typically executed separately via CLI -- isolate tests from HIDE tooling (interactive debuggers, value and stack inspectors, etc.) and introduce disruptive delays due to coarse execution granularity and lack of runtime context. This disconnect breaks development flow by exceeding critical attentio…
