@Tag is a repeatable annotation that is used to declare a tag for the annotated test class or test method.
Tags are used to filter which tests are executed for a given test plan. For example, a development team may tag tests with values such as "fast", "slow", "ci-server", etc. and then supply a list of tags to be included in or excluded from the current test plan, potentially dependent on the current environment. 
Syntax Rules for Tags

A tag must not be blank.
A trimmed tag must not contain whitespace.
A trimmed tag must not contain ISO control characters.
A trimmed tag must not contain any of the following
reserved characters.

,: comma
(: left parenthesis
): right parenthesis
&: ampersand
|: vertical bar
!: exclamation point
