From just a quick skim of the part of the implementation dealing with `--until-failure` behavior, I guess that I would try to refactor so that `trial -u -jN` and `trial -u` share their implementation of this functionality instead of each implementing it separately.  If `trial -u` already has tests and you can get rid of the dedicated `trial -u -jN` code that's a big step towards the testing goal - and always better to delete unnecessary code than to keep it, fix it, and have to write and maintain tests for it.

However, like I said, I only gave the code a brief skim.  For all I know, there is some major hurdle in the way of such a refactoring.

it appears trial is almost two programs in one: a distributed and a non-distributed version. Obviously -jN selects which version you get and the decision is made very early: in scripts/trial

So IMHO single implementation of -u isn't possible.

I have a minimalist solution to #10312
