In my project I am trying implementing rerun of failed test items for defined iterations, say maximum two times.
If a test item fails after two re runs I am logging a detect in JIRA.
Currently I have implemented it through Testcomplete code and creating a DLL(automating JIRA REST API).
If we can at least automate half of it, say I have a configurable property for test items to rerun them if they fail for first time and also define the maximum number of time we want a rerun for that item.
In the end ,reading the logs if a test item fails every time we log a bug.
This will help in TC integration with Defect management tools and will save the coding effort as well.
