I have written a test in the spec suite. I would like to run only that test.  
At the moment, I execute "grunt quick-test" but this runs them all.

Our tests use mocha js, so you can consult their docs at [http://mochajs.org/](http://mochajs.org/)

The easiest would be to use .only, as in describe.only or it.only - just be sure you remove that when you are done.
