This can happen when you want to ensure that a test run for every platform, for example, if cui profile exists in RHE7 but ospp don't and RHEL8 otherwise, this would ensure that the test scenario will be available to run for both RHEL7 and RHEL8.

This for sure can increase the testing time because sometimes it can run twice, but future features of the test suite will use the so called virtual profile "(all)" which selects all available rules and override the header "profiles" from the test scenario implying that the test scenario will only run once.

There are two pull requests [1][2] at the moment (one merged) to improve usability and performance of test suite:

In PR 4447 [0], looks like test cases for a single rule are being ran multiple times per profile: On 6/24/19 11:49 AM, Gabriel Gaspar Becker wrote:

How come the test harness tests the same rule multiple times?

Why not test each rule once? Seems like it would reduce the testing time significantly.
