Each test case makes a config function available, which can be used to set specific configurations for that test, such as threading, tags, and whether the test is enabled or not. For example, we can change the number of times a test is executed:

    class ConfigExample : ShouldSpec(), Eventually { 
      init { 
        should("run multiple times") { 
          // test logic

      } 
    }
