The invention discloses a test case execution method and device, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining all test cases contained in a to-be-executed test case set, the to-be-executed test caseset being divided into a plurality of test case subsets, and different test case subsets using different names; reading each test case of the to-be-executed test case set, and executing the followingoperations for the currently read test case: obtaining the name of a test case subset to which the current test case belongs according to subset annotation information added to the current test case in advance; reading configuration information corresponding to the name of the test case subset in the configuration file according to the name of the test case subset to which the current test case belongs, the configuration information being used for indicating whether the test case subset needs to be executed or not; if the read configuration information indicates that the test case subset needsto be executed, executing the current test case; otherwise, the current test case is not executed. According to the method and the device, whether execution is needed is determined through configuration by using an example subset.
