+ * Annotation used to indicate that a JUnit-5 based tests method is expected to fail.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * When a test method is annotated with {@code @JacksonTestFailureExpected}, the
+ * {@link JacksonTestFailureExpectedInterceptor} will intercept the test execution.
+ * If the test passes, which is an unexpected behavior, the interceptor will throw an exception to fail the test,
+ * indicating that the test was expected to fail but didn't.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <h3>Usage Example:</h3>
+ *
+ * <pre><code>
+ *
+ *     &#64;Test
+ *     &#64;JacksonTestFailureExpected
+ *     @Test
+    public void testFeatureNotYetImplemented() {
+ *         // Test code that is expected to fail
