Must-have gems for mature Rails
gem "test-prof" - https://github.com/test-prof/test-prof | Toolkit for inspecting and optimising your test-suite, a must-have.

Measuring load time on fixtures
You might be able to do something with https://test-prof.evilmartians.io, but I'm not sure it has anything specific to fixtures out of the box. Maybe using the event profiler on sql.active_record events would be close enough. In the limit, you could wire together your own ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument around the relevant blocks + an ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe to that event so as to log the relevant information. Docs: https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Notifications.html
