Description Mauro Molinari

2008-07-02 09:49:52 EDT

Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. create a Java class
2. create a test suite for it
3. run the test suite as JUnit Test
4. now add some new test methods to the test suite

Now, it would be very useful if I could run just the new test methods, instead of re-running the whole test suite.
A button like "Re-run Test - New test methods first" (like "Re-run Test - Failures first") would be an acceptable compromise.

More information:
I know you can Run As => JUnit Test on the new methods, but this adds new launch configurations for just those methods, while I would like just to run the new tests without having to wait the completion of all the other.

I really like to see this feature.

I like the idea of a new run button as counter-part to the "Re-run Test - Failures first" action. I just wonder if this doesn't clutter the UI too much.
