Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1224:
--------------------------------------------
You are not limited but -1/0/1 - you can use any integer values essentially.
Wrt encouragement: there's a class of tests that must have it. Any test that
requires a certain sequence of states - e.g. package validation and such -
would benefit from it. We already have a more complex ordering support combined
with parametrization. So if someone wants to use it - they will. The way to
prevent it is peer review process, not technology limitation, I think.
> Provide a simple order for tests

> There are situations where test order is important and its lack causes test
> failure. E.g. I see a number of failures in quota testing in hadoop smokes
> caused by wrong order of the test cases.
> iTest currently has a mechanism to order parametrized tests. However,
> parametrization seems like an overkill in some cases. For those a simple
> ordering will be sufficient.
