Investigate if logging in via the API and injecting the cookie in the browser would work. For more information see 698467.
I think Ruby framework had a similar feature.

If you really want to speed up login, you could just define a custom authentication provider where you can set the name of the user in a cookie and the system automatically considers you as being logged in via that cookie. No extra login/logout actions required.

@Tgr I don't know how to do that. 😅 Could you please submit a sample patch, or point me to documentation? Would that work on a public wiki, like the beta cluster or test2?

I really do want to speed up login. We have a test that checks that login works, I only want to login that one time. The rest of the tests can assume the login works, so any shortcut would be welcome.
