Testing as per user constraints

Hey Gang
First post here :)
I would like to know that whether there is anyway in which I can control the
tests as per time spend or as per success of previous tests.

Requirement #1
Ideally what I want is that suppose 10 of last 15 tests have failed, so the
framework should stop testing at this point. The condition should be able to
be specified by user at compile time using some scripts.

Requirement #2
Also suppose I want to stop testing after 10 minutes.What is the provision
for that?

I understand that readymade receipes may not exist for these things and I am
ready to get my hand dirty with code if you could give me a lead.

Thanks
