Sub-second acceptance tests
summary
Asserts that full-stack functional acceptance tests run in milliseconds by swapping real components for fast in-process substitutes, using a domain-specific actor interface and pluggable assemblies. Demonstrates replacing WebDriver with a Dom actor, swapping HTTP for in-process calls and DB for in-memory stubs, running 100 acceptance scenarios in 83 ms and down to single-digit milliseconds per test; WebDriver and HTTP add seconds of latency so the technique trades browser coverage for instant, deterministic feedback.
