Added support for test prioritization with two goals in mind:
Prioritize likely failures - Tests more likely to fail are executed earlier to provide faster feedback. The following heuristic is used:
Load balancing - When tests are executed in parallel using the
-poption, VUnit will try to keep the threads balanced. It will initially start with the fastest tests (for fast feedback) but it will also raise the priority of slow tests towards the end of the test run to avoid that some threads complete much later than the others.Option
--changedis also added. It limits tests to those that depend on file changes since the last recorded test run.
