If you speak about TSS, please alway say which one :-)

Adding non-volatile state changes explicitly is to a test case is both
intrusive and wrong. These type of choices are not to be done in the
test case implementation for sure.

An improvement that does not add extra side-effect, would be to read the
TPM_PT_LOCKOUT_COUNTER and roll back with a proper error message for the
lockout condition.

You can also configure the maximum number of tries up to (2 << 31) - 1
= 4294967295 with TPM2_DictionaryAttackParameters.
