Can I throw in something here ?

A very important thing is to have systematic metadata about test-cases,
in particular:

A) Is the test 100% deterministic, or is there a risk of random failure ?

B) Is the test reliable on a heavily loaded machine ?

C) Estimated duration of test

etc.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
