One more note (seems it already was said sorry if I repeat): the test without any marks should be run in all configurations (i.e. we have 'default' group but declaration of this group may be missed).

OK, let's return back to the usage model. If I understood it correctly, before the commit of any changes each developer run *all* tests (at least all which we have now) on all available to him platforms. In this context seems we don't need in any 'level' group (while 'stress' tests require reasonable time to pass). Seems, that "platform" group also can be deleted (at present time we have <10 platform-dependent tests and this amount should not increase dramatically so the platform-detection can be included to the each such test). Also "cpu" groups can be deleted (while we have not cpu-dependent test). At the end we need only "state" groups to support test exclusion on the 'one-element' level (while we have unresolved entries in the current exclude list). So, after small update of unit (aka integration, aka regression etc) tests and resolution of all entries in the exclude list we don't need any groups and pure JUnit covers all our needs :) On the other side, if we define some groups it will nice to define *all* reasonable groups at the begin of the process. thanks, Vladimir By the way, our regression tests are 'classic' regression tests that demonstrate some issues which were not resolved by initial code. But it provides less coverage than 'regression tests' + unit tests, of cause.
