A junit test case is supposed to be completely stand-alone. It should not depend on any other test case running previously. However, the service test suite(framework/service/testdef/servicetests.xml) requires the data load test case to run, then each test case to run in series. This is wrong.
I'm going to modify the test system to support having multiple children. <test-suite> currently only has <test-case> as a child. I'm going to add <test-group>, which can then have multiple children.
