public final class IgnoreAttribute extends Attribute
Remarks
This should be used to temporarily exclude a specific test when you run a group of tests that contains it. This can be useful for not running a test that is blocking other tests from running because of errors in the code. This is better than commenting out code because the test is still compiled.
This sets the Test Enabled property of the test to false.
This attribute can be specified on a test method or class. There can be only a single instance of this attribute on a method or class.
