> the capability for Surefire to order test methods is already implemented @winglam your implementation of test method ordering can order tests within the same class, but it cannot order them globally. For example, if you specify `-Dtest=testing.Y#a,testing.X#c,testing.Y#b`, then the execution order will not be what you specified. It will be: * `testing.Y#a` * `testing.Y#b` * `testing.X#c` This is because Surefire runs one test class at a time. Supporting a global ordering of test methods would require such a significant refactoring that I'm not sure it's realistic to attempt it. The JUnit 5 team has said they won't support it: https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/discussions/2857 As I have described in [SUREFIRE-2041](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-2041) I think the best we can do is an explicit class ordering. I have implemented class ordering in https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/495, inspired from this PR but with a different implementation. I'm waiting for @Tibor17 to approve the running of the GitHub Action in that PR, and also to review the code. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
