The point of the selectable list is demonstrated by the fact that 
LongTestCase has been in SUnit for a while suggesting that there is a 
case for optional suites of tests, yet there has been no UI support for 
toggling the value of RunLongTestCases.

I have added this code to SUnit (in ST/X) for almost 7 years which 
allows a test case to publish suites. I used this in order to support a 
product which simulated several releases of a piece of hardware, all in 
a single image.

This selectable list allows you to select "All Standard Tests" and 
"LongTests".

It allows you to select "All Standard Tests" and "Squeak310Tests" 
specific to a 310 release.

It allos you to define additional suites such as "Performance Measures" 
which will be slow but generate a performance report on various features.

It provides a slot for putting tests that do not yet work "known 
issues", or "todo" items.

does that help?
