I think we can configure this at runtime.

Imagine, you have multiple failing unit tests. You see the first failure.
You find the issue, try and fix the problem, or instrument it, and now a
DIFFERENT test fails. Now focus on that one, yet a different one fails.

This is just going to equal frustration.

If you want to run random, we can do that. If you want to run in order,
that also should be possible. In fact, while debugging, you need to run
them in order, and serially.
