A new button to update the hierarchical listbox without running the tests

The Issue

Let's say we have written 1000 unit tests for our application and it's time to write test #1001. So when we write a new test method, we want a quick way to run the test the method #1001 without having to go through the previous 1000. The problem is that it takes a long time (in our case 10mins and growing) to run all the previous tests and rebuild the hierarchical list.

Suggested Solution

A button on the Unit Test Panel to update the hierarchical listbox without running the tests. This button will refresh the list with all the new methods that have been created. Then we can selectively run the new tests without having to wait.

Our current solution to this problem

We write every test method twice. One time using 4D's ASSERT command; we run and execute it. Once the test passes, then we rewrite the method using the AJ ASSERT method. This is quite time-consuming.

• This is one of the most wanted feature in our group of developers.
