Description of work
See mantidproject/mantidimaging#2434 for description on why this is effective.
I've compared all tests changed in this pr before and after the change and received a performance improvement in all of them.
It is particularly effective if
create_autospec
is being called in asetUp
method. Tests speed up somewhere between 50% and 20% most of the time. None of the tests were massive, so overall impact won't be large.Fixes #38560
To test:
Just unit tests and code review. If you want to search for instances of
create_autospec
which I've missed, be my guest, but I think I've been thorough.This does not require release notes because no effect on users
