Hi,

we are running scripts in parallel in many places.

 
* consider I have given rerunscriptcount as 5
* Surefire starts the scenarios and it fails due to Assertion error
* Then The script is being re run for additional 4 times  which is not require

Expected : To have a tag which we can use to exclude certain errors

**Affects:** 3.0.0-M3

Research direction

Start by tracing Surefire's rerun handling for the configured rerunscriptcount and how AssertionError failures are classified. Done means providing a way to exclude AssertionError failures from additional reruns; the issue names no source files or tests, so those entry points must be located first.
