[Cuis-dev] How would you like cmd+y to behave?

[Nicolás Papagna Maldonado]

Hi Hernan!

I'll go with #2.

I feel like once a test passes, I want to make sure all related tests pass
as well (i.e. the "module" the test belongs to keeps working after my
changes).

There is a subtlety there: what's the "module" of the passed test?

   - If the test is part of a package, then I would expect the tool to run
   all tests from that package.
   - If the test is not part of a package, I would expect the tool to run
   all tests in the test's system category root and all of its
   descendant system categories.
   For example, if we don't do the package check, when I run a test in my
   Tools-Finder package I'll end up running all tests in the Tool system
   category.
   Those are going to be probably unrelated to the work I was doing in
   Finder when I ran the test.

This is something I looked up when I built Code Coverage, but never got to
implement :/

Cheers,
Nico PM
