Thanks,
Did you try the above? I think BTest *will* run before ATest. The sorting is performed by the TestLoader if there is one, i. e. if you don't build a test suite manually. If you *do* use a TestLoader you can still influence the sort order by defining a sortTestMethodsUsing static method. Here's a fairly complex example: [Ordering tests in a testsuite] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2010-October/589058.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
