title: Is there a way to speed up AngularJS protractor tests?
body: <p>I have created tests for my application. Everything works but it runs slow and even though only 1/3 of the application is tested it still takes around ten minutes for protrator to create the test data, fill out the fields, click the submit button etc. </p>
  
  <p>I am using Google Crome for the testing. It seems slow as I watch protractor fill out the fields one by one. </p>
  
  <p>Here's an example of my test suite:</p>
  
  <pre><code>suites: {
      login: ['Login/test.js'],            
      homePage: ['Home/test.js'],          
      adminPage: ['Admin/Home/test.js'],
      adminObjective: ['Admin/Objective/test.js'],
      adminObjDetail: ['Admin/ObjectiveDetail/test.js'],
      adminTopic: ['Admin/Topic/test.js'],
      adminTest: ['Admin/Test/test.js'],
      adminUser: ['Admin/User/test.js'],
      adminRole: ['Admin/Role/test.js']
  },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is one test group:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    login: ['Login/test.js'],            
      homePage: ['Home/test.js'],          
      adminUser: ['Admin/User/test.js'],
      adminRole: ['Admin/Role/test.js']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is another test group:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    adminPage: ['Admin/Home/test.js'],
      adminObjective: ['Admin/Objective/test.js'],
      adminObjDetail: ['Admin/ObjectiveDetail/test.js'],
      adminTopic: ['Admin/Topic/test.js'],
      adminTest: ['Admin/Test/test.js'],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The two groups can run independently but they must run in the order I have above.  After the answers I did read about sharing but I am not sure if this helps my situation as my tests need to be run in order. Ideally I would like to have one set of tests run in one browser and the other set in another browser. </p>
  
  <p>I read about headless browsers such as PhantomJS. Does anyone have experience with these being faster?
  Any advice on how I could do this would be much appreciated.</p>
