  1. The problem I have run into is how do I test code that depends on large math data structures without having a fair bit of setup? For instance I was doing work on a solver and it takes in a 4D array that is several GB in size. While I can make it much smaller that also ends up not testing the solver correctly due to the error it introduces. Saving the data structure to disk can also be a problem in terms of then trying to keep it with the code and not having the checkouts be too large. What I mostly end up with is a complex setup for some of these kinds of tests and also separate tests for every single piece I can test independently.
