Reuse browser instance during test time (not dev time) #8451

Description

What is your Scenario?

The time taken to open a browser instance and initialise TestCafe can be significant (5-10 seconds). For integration test suites with many separate tests, this is around an extra +1 minute for every 6 tests.

What are you suggesting?

It would be great to be able to reuse the existing browser instance to save this startup time. This is similar to what TestCafe Live does, but note I'm talking about saving time when running integration test suites, not during test development time.

What alternatives have you considered?
