Running the complete test suite might take a while. We use [nextest](https://nexte.st/index.html) in
the CI and you might want to try it out locally. It can speed up the execution time of the whole
test run significantly if the cpu has multiple cores.

To run tests with `nextest` just use the nextest target. Note you'll need to
