 ### Features
 
+- `[jest-circus]` Add `failing` test modifier that inverts the behaviour of tests ([#12610](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/12610))
 - `[jest-environment-node, jest-environment-jsdom]` Allow specifying `customExportConditions` ([#12774](https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/12774))

+### `test.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+Also under the alias: `it.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+:::note
+
+This is only available with the default [jest-circus](https://github.com/facebook/jest/tree/main/packages/jest-circus) runner.
+
+:::
+
+Use `test.failing` when you are writing a test and expecting it to fail. These tests will behave the other way normal tests do. If `failing` test will throw any errors then it will pass. If it does not throw it will fail.
+
+:::tip
+
+You can use this type of tests i.e. when writing code in a BDD way. In that case the tests will not show up as failing until they pass. Then you can just remove the `failing` modifier to make them pass.
+
+It can also be a nice way to contribute failing tests to a project, even if you don't know how to fix the bug.
+
+:::
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+test.failing('it is not equal', () => {
+  expect(5).toBe(6); // this test will pass
+});
+
+test.failing('it is equal', () => {
+  expect(10).toBe(10); // this test will fail
+});
+```
+
+### `test.only.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+Also under the aliases: `it.only.failing(name, fn, timeout)`, `fit.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+:::note
+
+This is only available with the default [jest-circus](https://github.com/facebook/jest/tree/main/packages/jest-circus) runner.
+
+:::
+
+Use `test.only.failing` if you want to only run a specific failing test.
+
+### `test.skip.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+Also under the aliases: `it.skip.failing(name, fn, timeout)`, `xit.failing(name, fn, timeout)`, `xtest.failing(name, fn, timeout)`
+
+:::note
+
+This is only available with the default [jest-circus](https://github.com/facebook/jest/tree/main/packages/jest-circus) runner.
+
+:::
+
+Use `test.skip.failing` if you want to skip running a specific failing test.
+
 ### `test.only(name, fn, timeout)`
 
 Also under the aliases: `it.only(name, fn, timeout)`, and `fit(name, fn, timeout)`
