```
public class SkipException
extends java.lang.RuntimeException

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isSkip()`	Flag if the current exception marks a skipped method (`true`) or a failure (`false`).

- Method Detail
  - isSkip
```
public boolean isSkip()
```
    Flag if the current exception marks a skipped method (true) or a failure (false). By default Subclasses should override this method in order to provide smarter behavior.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the method should be considered a skip, false if the method should be considered failed. If not overwritten it returns true
  - reduceStackTrace
```
protected void reduceStackTrace()
```
    Subclasses may use this method to reduce the printed stack trace. This method keeps only the last frame. Important: after calling this method the preserved internally and can be restored called restoreStackTrace().
  - restoreStackTrace
```
protected void restoreStackTrace()
```
    Restores the original exception stack trace after a previous call to reduceStackTrace().
