New issue 329 by pohjonen.antti: Execution order and prioritisation for tags http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=329 At the moment Robot don't offer any means to change the execution order of test cases or suites, besides folder or test case file's inner structure. This feature would be needed for optimization of ove all test execution time (with multiple suite or/and test cases), not to build dependencies between test cases nor suites. This would be a nice feature for executing test cases which need similar SUT setup. For example our SUT needs different setup for different test tools and changing the SUT setup will take about 2 min. This will generate huge extra loss of time, if setup has to be changed every time suite or even worse test case will change. With Robot 2.1 even the critical test cases don't get any priority over non-critical test cases. This kind of feature would ease a great deal of the administrative work in test data handling (no need to organize all test suites or cases according the execution order). And could also help to optimize test execution and shorten scripts with the Robot (no need to write multiple start up scripts for Robot). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
