Expected failures in Unittest

We are starting to automate our unit-testing. One unit-tests demonstrates a failure, but cannot easily be fixed. I would like to leave this test in as a reminder of our shame, but not fail the overall test report. Even better, I would like to be notified when the test is fixed.

I believe this concept is covered in Python with an xfail or expectedFailure decorator. Does MATLAB have anything similar?

I can create a list of the expected-failures and add a few conditionals into my test runner, but I would rather use a built-in.

Hi @Jeremiah,

I understand that you want to know about any inbuilt functionlity that could be used to filter out test cases.In MATLAB 'matlab.unittest.qualifications.Assumable' class could be used in a manner similar to that of xfail in python.

Refer to: Qualification to filter test content - MATLAB - MathWorks India

Not quite what I pictured, but very simple and easy to maintain. Thanks!
