testrunner flag to specify which tags to ignore in test runs

[dabrochu]

Testrunner.sh currently supports the -T option, which allows users to specify which tagged test cases they want to run. However, there is not a flag that allows the user to specify which tags to ignore in your test run.

For example, if I tagged test cases with "prototype" I could run only those tests with that specific tag using -T"TestCase prototype". However, if I wanted to run all tests but exclude the prototype tags I currently don't have the ability to do that. Maybe a new tag, or addition of ! into the flag would work?

Ex:

-T"TestCase !prototype" <----- where ! prefix specifies not to run tests with prototype flag

This could even be expanded further where the -T option would support both inclusive and exclusive tags.

Ex: -T"TestCase prototype !ignorethese" <---- run all tests that have the prototype flag, but don't run those that have ignorethese flag

Excellent idea.  This functionality is necessary for increasing flexibility, productivity, and ROI of ReadyAPI scripting!

In the latest release of ReadyAPI v2.6, we relase the feature of adding logical operators for tags.  Please see
