This tests the previous as well as the current test. Can we isolate this to the previous test only? When doing a refactor, I’d like the ability to limit it to testing the previous stage alone.

Also, would like to add in a +1 for testing a specific stage as mentioned by @edgerunner on [this thread](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/ability-to-run-tests-for-previous-stages/727/2). Sometimes, refactors for a previous stage can happen while solving another stage as I would have just discovered some code clean up or optimization.
