Custom Execution within SOAtest
I want to be able to execute my tests in a custom order, where one test is executed before each and every test within a test suite.
Ex: Test 1 > Test 2, Test 1 > Test 3, Test 1 > Test 4, etc.
How is this possible?
I have tried it with test flow and test dependency with no luck.
Ideally I want to do this without scripting. If scripting is the only option, what is the script for this functionality?

The easiest way to set this up is to put "Test 1" into it's own .tst file, and then add a referenced test suite in every place where you want "Test 1" to run.

Is there any way around that?
I know my teammates want to have a custom execution flow, similar to test flow or test result dependency.0 -
There is no "automated" way to do this as you describe. You have to manually set it up in your test scenario.

Another idea is to add the tests as global tools then reference them as tests in the desired order.

How would I go about that? Especially with the orderWhen I ran my test as a global tool (data generator) I was not able to pass the values from it unless I wrote to a writable data source

You must add tests in the order you wan them to be executed, whether that is a standard test, a test reference, or test suite reference.

There are different trade-offs with using referenced tools or referenced test suites. Depending on your requirements, one approach may make more sense than the other. If you use a referenced test suite then any data banks you write to in your referenced test suite will be visible from subsequent tests in the main test suite.
