So there are two parts to it.

There is the CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME environment variable that you can use to
select a single test case from a whole test suite. E.g. from your recent
patch: CPPUNIT_TEST_NAME="sc_apitest::ScCellCursorObj::testGoToEnd" make
CppunitTest_sc_cellcursorobj would have just executed that one single case
from the whole test suite.

The make CppunitTest_sc_cellcursorobj part only rebuilds the corresponding
test and all its dependencies however if you call it from the top level
this means it will always rebuild a few targets that have not changed.
Often it is easier to switch to the corresponding module, in that case sc,
and run make -sr CppunitTest_sc_cellcursorobj, which will only rebuild
changed dependencies in the corresponding module.
