Very difficult for teams to reconcile Unit Test failures

 Description  « Hide
When a team is working on fixing unit tests, it is very difficult to figure out which tests are failing for different members of the team.

Some very helpful features would be:

  • Ability to sort the tests (alphabetically) after running them
  • Ability to set an order for the tests to run in (shouldn't be the default since that may be dangerous)
  • Ability to export the test results (maybe copy a list to the clipboard where each line in the list is the name of the failed test.
  • Ability to compare the current results to the results from the last unit-test run (to see which are newly failed or newly passed) - see attached diff image.
  • Ability to compare your results to another developer's results - see attached diff image.
  • Ability to exclude certain tests from a given run by a regex (or regexes).
  • Ability to run only sub-folders (this would make repeated testing much faster). The above suggestion about reg-exes could also be a valid fix.

Whatever combination of those would be able to aid our development team in more quickly dealing with unit-tests would be a very welcome upgrade.

Thank you.
