Most tests set the priority at creation time and do not dynamically change it using rtems_task_set_priority.

This is in the users manual and in the original 1973 JACM paper referenced.

It also includes the assumptions about the underlying OS and environment.

You need to do some academic paper research. There are a number of papers describing how to address various task patterns.
