   @santhosh-tekuri - are you looking for commands to run all tests, such as:

   go test ./...
go test -run ''

   From the documentation: https://golang.org/pkg/testing/#hdr-Subtests_and_Sub_benchmarks

   go test -run ''      # Run all tests.
   go test -run Foo     # Run top-level tests matching "Foo", such as "TestFooBar".
   go test -run Foo/A=  # For top-level tests matching "Foo", run subtests matching "A=".
   go test -run /A=1    # For all top-level tests, run subtests matching "A=1".
   

   If not, would you be able to provide more information about this issue, including a code sample?

   after thinking a bit, it seems I am trying to do opposite. I should know which top tests to run after my code change rather than which leaf tests to run. With the correct approach, the behavior seems pleasing.

   any way thanks for the patience.
