# XCTExpectedFailure.Options

Options that determine how the test matches the expected failure to an actual test failure, and whether an unfulfilled expected failure results in a test failure.

## Declaration

```swift
class Options
```

## Overview

Overview Create options and provide them to XCTExpectFailure functions to tell the test system how to match an expected failure, whether to enable an expected failure during a test, and whether an unfulfilled expected failure generates a test failure.

## Topics

### Matching Failures

- [issueMatcher](xctest/xctexpectedfailure/options/issuematcher.md)

- [isEnabled](xctest/xctexpectedfailure/options/isenabled.md)
- [isStrict](xctest/xctexpectedfailure/options/isstrict.md)
