# Running a subset of tests

Sometimes you have a specific subset of tests in mind that you want to execute. For example,
- You might want to run tests only for a particular field that you're working on.
- You might want to check if all fields have proper null checks in place.
- You might have [tagged some tests](/11-tagging-tests/) as high priority and want to run only those tests.

For these kinds of situations, you can use the search on the Tests table and "Run All" to execute a subset of tests. The search works on description, categories, tags and UUIDs of tests.

Let's take a look at some examples:

- To run tests for a particular field (e.g., `phone_number`), you can search the field name and then "Run All". This will run only the filtered tests.

- To run tests for a particular category, you can search using the category name or use the "[Filter Tests by Type](/3-test-suite-details/#filter-tests-by-types)" option.

- Searching by tags works the same way as searching by field name.

- You can also select specific tests using the checkbox and only run those tests.
