Hi James, thanks for your answer. Excuse my ignorance though.. :) What exactly do mean by running the test several times? In the spec file there's a section which runs the tests. I can comment out that and skip them all.. I'm just not sure how to run them few times as you suggest. Could you elaborate on the 'tests rerun' a little more?
