From: Willian Rampazzo <willianr@redhat.com>

Add the possibility of running all the tests from a single file, or
multiple files, running a single test within a file or multiple tests
within multiple files using `make check-acceptance` and the
AVOCADO_TESTS environment variable.

+
+ .. code::
+
+  make check-acceptance AVOCADO_TESTS=$FILEPATH
