That would be the ideal - though do we require randomization

What do you hope to gain with randomization?


Please, no randomization.

However, from a design standpoint, the tests must not depend on statefrom prior tests. Thus, if someone were to report different unittesting results after randomizing the tests, then that's a bug (mostlikely in a test) that would need to be fixed.
