Description

Running all unit tests several times during development may take too much time. The Surefire Maven plugin can run a subset of Java unit tests by passing filter expression via the test property for test class names.

However, running fewer than all Python unit tests is currently cumbersome, it requires renaming the unit test or modifying the unitTests.py script. The goal of this improvement is to implement the Surefire approach for filtering Python unit tests to be run.
