Description
https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.testng/testng/6.9.4/org/testng/annotations/Test.html allows for 'expectedExceptions' and 'expectedExceptionsMessageRegExp', which allow a test to throw an exception without failing.
appmap-java does not yet take that feature into account, so all test methods that throw exceptions will be marked as failed.
