Motivation: there exist tests which, due to brittleness, environment instability or cosmic rays, fail 1 in N times and pass (N-1) in N times. It is not economical to make the test 100% reliable. Desired is a means to specify a test step may be rerun some specified # of times upon fail before reaching a final FAIL state. This should be in the testconfig file Possible extension of testconfig [ezsteps] format : [ezsteps] getoalibs getoalibs.sh oabuild[retry 3] oabuild.csh cleanup cleanup.sh In this example, the suffix on step "oabuild" is "retry 3" meaning an unsuccessful completion of any given iteration of this test will be retried 3 times until either success criteria are met or we have 3 unsuccessful runs in a row. The sample syntax above is not a hard requirement, it is just there to illustrate the desired level of control.
