In doc/testing.md file, it says:

As an example, :tier1 will expand to jtreg:$(TOPDIR)/test/hotspot/jtreg:tier1 jtreg:$(TOPDIR)/test/jdk:tier1 jtreg:$(TOPDIR)/test/langtools:tier1 jtreg:$(TOPDIR)/test/nashorn:tier1 jtreg:$(TOPDIR)/test/jaxp:tier1.

The actual situation is :tier1 doesn't contains test/nashorn:tier1, and the document missed test/lib-test:tier1

$ make -n test-tier1 &> test-tier1.log
$ grep "Running test " test-tier1.log
Running test 'jtreg:test/hotspot/jtreg:tier1'
Running test 'jtreg:test/jdk:tier1'
Running test 'jtreg:test/langtools:tier1'
Running test 'jtreg:test/jaxp:tier1'
Running test 'jtreg:test/lib-test:tier1'
