19 19  ### Asynchronous Testing
20 20  
21 -Writing new code, executing local tests, waiting for them to finish if they pass going on, is a workflow that works well when the test take a few seconds only. This means this flow is limited to the execution of very fast and sometimes few tests.
21 +The Problem
22 22  
23 -* Instead of waiting for your tests to finish locally, you should have a DevOps infrastructure which triggers a CI pipeline when pushing the code executing all tests. Doing that enables you to directly go on working without the need to wait minutes for the tests to finish. In case the CI piepline fails, you should get a notification to fix the CI pipeline immediately. This enables quite comprehensive testing, even having the same testing jobs running in parallel, even long taking ones.
