I would suggest to fix your tests or rewrite them so they will only fail if something is broken. Maybe you can mock away the things that tend to fail. If you are depnending on a database connection, maybe you could use a sqlite or smething which is local.

But there is also a plugin which can retry a build: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Naginator+Plugin

Simply install the plugin, and then check the Post-Build action "Retry build after failure" on your project's configuration page.
