Whereas the TestCliDriver tests run all tests under /clientpositive and /clientnegative respectively, the MiniDriver tests (iei.e., TestMiniTezCliDriver, TestMinimrCliDriver) run only a subset of those for time reasons. These are determined by a properties file located in ./itests/qtest/testconfiguration.properties.
...
minimr.query.files: Run by TestMinimrCliDriver (positive)
minimr.query.negative.files: Run by TestMinimrCliDriver (negative)
minitez.query.files.shared: Run by TestMinimrCliDriver and TestMiniTezCliDriver
minitez.query.files: Run by TestMiniTezCliDriver
beeline.positive.exclude: Tests excluded when running with TestBeeLineDriver, if its it's enabled.
Thus, be sure to update this properties file if adding a new MiniDriver test.
