Comment #2 on issue 1710 by bryan.oa...@gmail.com: Add new built-in keyword "Require test case"
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1710

If you're concerned about encouraging bad behavior, you could have robot generate a warning whenever that keyword was used. You could provide a command line option to silence the warning, which means the user has to explicitly acknowledge that using that keyword is a bad practice (eg: --no-warn-on-bad-practices)

I don't understand the idea of a test registering itself as a dependency for something else. That means if you write a new test case that depends on an old test case, you must also modify that old test case to register itself. That seems like more work for the tester.

I understand your concerns. It's just that in my experience now in my third company using Robot, dependencies are a fact of life. I'd rather document them then have them hidden from view. Plus, the information can be invaluable when trying to parallelize a test run.
