My understanding was that XFAIL tests indicated actual test failures that
were known, and that should (eventually) be fixed. (Almost like a TODO list)
E.g. Scenario X produces result Y, but it should produce result Z. However,
making it produce Z is large chunk of work (and potentially a redesign of
something).
So add a test that runs X and expects Z, and mark it as XFAIL. Eventually,
when the work is done to actually produce Z, the test will pass (and no
longer be in the XFAIL list).
Is this understanding correct?
