           Summary: Many webkitpy unit tests can be run standalone, are
                    executable
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

There are many unit tests in webkitpy containing the following two lines at the bottom:

if __name__=='__main__':
    unittest.main()

Some unit test files are even executable and/or containing the shebang line at the top of the file.

I guess there was once a tendency to be able to run only specific unit tests. Given that today the tests, when running test-webkitpy, are run in parallel and can be narrowed down via the command line, is there still a requirement for that?
