Description

I am filtering out large acceptance tests via the filter textbox. I would like to press a button that only runs the tests that are currently in view.

Research direction

Start from the test view's filter textbox and trace how the currently visible tests are represented and executed. Add a button that runs only the tests remaining in view after filtering, then verify that filtered-out tests are not run and that the existing test-running behavior remains intact.
