Currently you need to specify a full name to execute test procedure / suite / package
Example:

exec ut.run('owner.test_package');
--or
exec ut.run('owner.test_package.test_procedure');

We could add ability to use '*' at the end of the package name to run all tests/suites by part of the name.
So I could call:

exec ut.run('owner.test_p*');
--or
exec ut.run('owner.test_package.test_pr*');

Adding the '*' at the end of the name should be most easy and most beneficial.

Allowing '*' in any place of name would be more natural, but there is very little value in it and implementation of such feature would be a bigger effort.

   Idea. Introduce ability to specify patterns in regex format. For example:
   ut.run('{test_suite_number\d+}.main_test');

   why use '*' or a regexp?
   would a standard oracle LIKE operator not be more natural?
   or you could support both styles with eitehr an optional parameter or a prefix
   ie
   ut.run('test_suite_number%.main_test'); or ut.run('re:{test_suite_number\d+}.main_test');

   you could predefine an escape character for like to be \ also

   I guess this is solved by putting --%context annotation or using tags.

   Yes, I think especially tags are a good substitute.
   Should we close it, @jgebal ?

   I would keep it open. It's still a good idea.
   Someone might pick it up at some point.
