I see:

  * verbosity
      1   verbose        Print individual test results to STDOUT.
      0   normal
     -1   quiet          Suppress some test output (mostly failures
                         while tests are running).
     -2   really quiet   Suppress everything but the tests summary.
     -3   silent         Suppress everything.
  * failures
  * comments
  * show_count
  * errors
  * directives

Am I missing any?

Best,
