Why Use Testify?
Why not?
Umm... Since we settled that, how does it work?
It's a REST API. Click this link for Swagger documentation and get after it.
So what's the deal with all of these new menu options?

Watch Me
Needs Review
Addressed
Clear Flag
You may have noticed some new icons in the test result drop down menus. These new status options can be used to mark tests that may or may not
require further action in the future. For example:
- The "Brittle" option can be used to mark a test that randomly fails as brittle. This is useful during regression because it means that the failures are not legitimate issues, and you can know to come back to it to fix it later when you have time.
- The "Watch me" status can be used to mark a test that may or may not be a legitimate failure that you simply want to keep an eye on over the next few runs (hence "Watch Me").
- The "Needs Review" status should be used to imply that either a test has become outdated and needs to be repaired - or that the failure is legitimate and a code change needs to be made.
- The "Addressed" status really comes in handy when there are multiple failures to sift through and you want an easy way to mark which tests you have already fixed - or at least attempted to fix.
- The "Clear Flag" option is used to simply clear any status that you may have applied to the result.
