The next group of questions offer you the opportunity to include or exclude tests in a test run using filters. JavaTest provides three types of filters:
Exclude list Exclude tests from a test run by specifying a special exclude list file. The exclude list file contains a list of tests that are not to be run.
Keywords Include and exclude tests for test runs based on keyword values contained in tests.
Prior status Include and exclude tests based on their outcome on a prior test run. You can exclude and include tests based on the following status values: passed, failed, not run, error (test could not be run).

Restrictions are applied cumulatively. For example, you can restrict the set of tests using an exclude list and then further restrict the set to only those tests that passed on a prior run.
