Filter tests in VI Tester UI #61

Open kosist opened 3 years ago

kosist commented 3 years ago

Idea is to add filtering of displayed tests based on name pattern/match. For example, there could be many tests, and one wants to run just some of them. So instead of scrolling and searching of tests in the list, user could type part of test's name, and just those tests which are matched will be displayed. Another use case is when same test class is launched multiple times in Test Suite. Then it is displayed multiple times in the list, and has same name there (but is displayed under different test case tree node). But when user adds just one test to that test case, and would like to launch just that new test, he needs to scroll and launch each instance of that test VI in the list. If user could filter it out - then he could see just those tests. Something like on the screenshots:

This is a great idea. I’ve often wanted this as well. I may have some helpful utility VIs for filtering lists based on string queries, which we could use as a starting point.-- Jim Sent from my mobile.
