[Avocado-devel] General test running questions

[Olav Philipp Henschel]

I have a few questions regarding test running, the multiplexer and test 
variants:

In avocado-vt, each test has a cartesian config file that is applied 
only to that single test. Is there any plan to do something similar with 
multiplex files? Sometimes I want to create variants to one test but not 
the other.
Is there currently any way of making a test dependent on another? For 
example, if an unattended_install test fails, I want avocado to skip the 
other tests.
Is there any way of specifying a set of tests to run, instead of passing 
each one of them? In avocado-vt, we can specify the test provider, or a 
substring of the complete test name. It would be useful if we could pass 
globs or something like that to execute all tests in a directory.
