Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by c.martin.taylor on 20 Nov 2012
You can select test cases by a combination of check-marks, include tags and exclude tags. With tests suites that contain nested sub-suites and large numbers of test cases it would be very nice to know the total number of selected test cases prior to clicking the "Start" button for a test run.
Some ways of doing this might be:
- Automatically adjust the "Robot" icon on each "selected to run" test case, kind of like the green circle and red x icons used for showing results of a test run.
- Have a "Show Selected Tests" button beside the Start & Stop buttons that would bring up a window like the "Find where used" or "F3" windows. The test case names would be listed and clicking on them would take you to them in the editor so you could deselect them if desired.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Run tab's test-selection logic and the existing Start and Stop controls. Define how nested suites, check marks, include tags, and exclude tags contribute to the count, then verify that the total is visible before starting a run.
