+  aliases: [failure]
+  description:
+    - Tests if task finished in failure, opposite of C(succeeded).
+    - This test checks for the existance of a C(failed) key in the input dictionary and that it is C(True) if present.
+    - Tasks that get skipped or not executed due to other failures (syntax, templating, unreachable host, etc) do not return a 'failed' status.
