Can we have something like pkg> test MyPkg tests_names, where tests_names refers to, say, the name of a testset? Some packages have very long tests which can take a long time to complete. When you are making modifications to specific part of it, you only want to test the affected areas repeatedly and hopefully quickly, and then maybe do a full test at the end.

Sure, I think that functionality needs to exist in the Test stdlib first, however. Once it does, we can expose it here.

I think what we will end up doing is https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1226 and then leave the rest to whatever test library people want to use. No need to tie this to the current Test stdlib.

Also, if you do use the Test stdlib, the post in https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/pull/1226 has some example code that you'll be able to use once the pull request is merged.
