  **Synchronous Testing**
--A simple TDD workflow is to write new code, execute tests locally, wait for them to finish and if they pass then going on. To avoid long waiting times being unproductive, you only execute a few, very fast tests sacrificing that all tests check your latest changes. This is tolerable when working on yet isolated code and working with unit tests but as soon as integration with the rest of the code comes into play this becomes a problem. Either you execute only unit tests not taking advantage of the whole mightiness of your test suite or you run all tests and be unpro
++A simple TDD workflow is to write new code, run tests locally, wait for them to finish, and if they pass, move on. To avoid long wait times, you run only a few very fast tests. This is tolerable when you are working on isolated code and using unit tests, but as soon as integration of the new code with the old code comes into play, it becomes a problem. You have two bad choices: either you run only a few fast tests and do not use the full power of your test suite, possibly missing bugs that would be easier to fix if they were caught earlier, or you run all the tests locally and are unproductive for a long time while waiting for them to finish. This problem can be solved with asynchronous testing.
