Sure, take a look at references to TESTSUITEFLAGS in INSTALL.rst (or INSTALL.md
if you're on an older branch).

For example, you can list all test cases with the keyword "conntrack" via:

   make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-l -k conntrack"

And you can execute them via:

   make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k conntrack"

To execute one or more tests by number:

   make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="1,3,4-14"

If you want to preserve logs for test cases that execute successfully,
specifiy the "debug" flag, e.g.:

   make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="-k conntrack -d"

If you're interested in testing data path support for conntrack, you might
also be interested in the "check-kernel" and "check-system-userspace".

Hope this helps,
