Prioritizer Descriptions
We have provided some prioritizers with the plugin, but only with continued developement
by you will better prioritizers be created. Information on developing new prioritizers
is found
here. If you have a prioritizer you would like to contribute
to this page, email Kevin(
kcheval@mit.edu).
Look
here for filter descriptions.
- Most Recent Failures First
- Author: David Saff
- This prioritizer runs the tests first that failed the last time. This is
probably the most useful current prioritizer because most of the time you are trying
to fix the errors from the previous test and are interested in those results.
- Most Frequent Failures First
- Author: David Saff
- This prioritizer runs the tests in order of
the number of failures that the test has seen. It implies that the most volatile
tests are the most interesting.
- Quickest Test First
- Author: David Saff
- This prioritizer runs the quickest tests first so that you can see
the first results and try to make sense of them while the longer tests run.
- Round Robin
- Author: David Saff
- This prioritizer is a believer in fairness, giving every test its share of
love.
- Random
- Author: David Saff
- This prioritizer believes that any order is not necessary.
