Can I create dynamically stages in a Jenkins pipeline?

Question

I need to launch a dynamic set of tests in a declarative pipeline. For better visualization purposes, I\'d like to create a stage for each test. Is there a way to do so?

You might want to take a look at this example - you can have a function return a closure which should be able to have a stage in it.

This code shows the concept, but doesn't have a stage in it.

def transformDeployBuildStep(OS) {
    return {
        node ('master') { 
        wrap([$class: 'TimestamperBuildWrapper']) {
...
        } } // ts / node
    } // closure
} // transformDeployBuildStep

stage("Yum Deploy") {
  stepsForParallel = [:]
  for (int i = 0; i < TargetOSs.size(); i++) {
      def s = TargetOSs.get(i)
      def stepName = "CentOS ${s} Deployment"
      stepsForParallel[stepName] = transformDeployBuildStep(s)
  }
  stepsForParallel['failFast'] = false
  parallel stepsForParallel
} // stage
