+### Reuse ReferenceAssemblies between tests
+
+Resolving `ReferenceAssemblies` can be an expensive operation, especially when package references are used. Reuse instances
+of `ReferenceAssemblies` when possible to minimize the number of resolution operations required.
+
+```csharp
+static class ReferenceAssemblyCatalog
+{
+    // Define a static property to share ReferenceAssemblies between tests
+    public static ReferenceAssemblies Net80WithNewtonsoftJson { get; } = ReferenceAssemblies.Net.Net80.AddPackages([new PackageIdentity("Newtonsoft.Json", "12.0.1"))]);
+}

+CSharpAnalyzerTest<TAnalyzer, DefaultVerifier> test = new()
