[Bug 782117] [NEW] Categories Priority

 

Public bug reported:

Some tests are more important than others. In the Gui, all tests are
listed alphabetical. But we have some tests which must be successful. If
they are not, about 100 other tests miss. We have lost much time to find
out, that not the test does not work, but the tear down which uses one
of our function, that does not worked (tested also in an other test for
itself).

So my purposal is to add a priority to a CategoryAttribut and optionally
use the priority of the maximum of all categories. There existes a
category-Tab in the gui so simple a checkbox can be added "use
categories for test order".

I think, this would be very helpfull. Everyone can write ones categories
like Important, Basic which high priority or Detailed with low priority.
