There is a stopTest function in MarionetteTestResult, however user might have only instance of MarionetteTestRunner, can we create a function in runner to stop tests and do cleanups?

If I understand correctly, we can add a check in run_tests ( http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/marionette/client/marionette/runtests.py#527 ) that will check if the user set a flag to stop running the tests, but I'm not sure I understand the us e case for this. Can you explain how you would use this with an example?

Sorry for late reply...
For MTBF, we need to stop the runner after it run for a specific period, such like 10 hours.
Currently our solution is to use system warn signal for timer, raise exception to stop the runner and collect test result; look more like a hack rather than a clean solution.

Is this still required?

I guess we can modify title to need api to gracefully shut down or stop/pause tests.
in python unittest, result.stopTest seems to skip specific test instead of stop them all.
Which I think following code doesn't seems to work.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/testing/marionette/client/marionette/runner/base.py#199

We now try to set shouldStop = True, is it the right way or should we create stop in runner, since result.stop() not sound literally well.

We probably will not add an API to gracefully stop tests mid-execution.
