I filed a pull request which allowed running unit tests individually (and in different threads*) two years ago, but didn't pursue this further: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1131 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/308 To summarize: It provides a function pointer for every unit test to druntime or user code. This is actually easy to do. Naming tests requires changes in the parser, but I guess that shouldn't be difficult either. * Some time ago there was a discussion whether unit tests can rely on other tests being executed first / execution order. AFAIK some phobos tests require this. That of course won't work if you run the tests in different threads.
