Description slip 2016-03-03 14:31:17 UTC 
Overview:

When working on a test in a project, often I will need to modify the code being tested.

After modifying the project then going back to re-compile and run the test all tests re-link before running the test that I requested to run. This takes a lot of time to complete and it is especially bad on projects with a large number of tests.

It would be desirable if only the test I attempt to run re-built/re-linked instead of all of the tests.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a project with multiple tests.
2. Make changes to the project, save then build.
3. Attempt to run a single test.

Actual Results:
All tests re-link before running the test requested.

Expected Results:
Only the test that has been requested to execute should re-link before running.
