The XCTest Framework in its current capacity does not provide us Developers/QA with the ability to rerun failed/flaky tests. It would be nice to have a feature like this implemented wherein you could specify how many times you would like to run flaky tests and they would be run that many times. What i am looking for is something similar to a @Retry annotation which TestNG (http://static.javadoc.io/org.testng/testng/6.13/org/testng/IRetryAnalyzer.html) & JUnit test frameworks have. I don't think the current XCTest framework has anything like this, so it would be nice to have it implemented as it would benefit everyone. If such a thing already exists, then please point me in the right direction.
