GitLab Product Manager here - We’re working on ways to run fewer tests OR only the necessary tests earlier in a pipeline so you get to a result in fewer minutes. The first project towards this in the product is https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/fail_... which we hope to bring down to the Core tier soon.

I think most test runners have a --stop-on-failure feature, but using it has the downside of not giving you the complete list of failing tests.

If you haven't touched your gitlab pipelines for a few months, check out DAG pipelines [0] - I got my web project deployment pipeline down from 25 to ~12 minutes by running tests sooner.
