Kelly,

Perhaps it would be a good idea such that anyone could run a nominated 
test through the system. I could imagine it being useful to test a 
specific test or group of tests (and no others), and also to be able to 
run  all the tests, including a  specific test or group or tests (even 
if they are on the ProblemList.)

This would make it easier for engineers to exercise tests for 
themselves, on all platforms, prior to them being removed from the 
ProblemList.
