Flaky tests are tests that can non-deterministically pass and fail. They pose a major impediment to regression testing, because they provide an inconclusive assessment on …
Flaky tests are software tests that exhibit a seemingly random outcome (pass or fail) despite exercising unchanged code. In this work, we examine the perceptions of software …

Regression testing is a critical part of software development and maintenance. It ensures that modifications to existing software do not break existing behavior and functionality. One …
Tests that fail inconsistently, without changes to the code under test, are described as flaky. Flaky tests do not give a clear indication of the presence of software bugs and thus limit the …
During regression testing, developers rely on the pass or fail outcomes of tests to check whether changes broke existing functionality. Thus, flaky tests, which nondeterministically …
In today's agile world, developers often rely on continuous integration pipelines to help build and validate their changes by executing tests in an efficient manner. One of the significant …
Tests that cause spurious failures without any code changes, ie, flaky tests, hamper regression testing, increase maintenance costs, may shadow real bugs, and decrease trust …
Flaky tests are tests that can non-deterministically pass or fail for the same code version. These tests undermine regression testing efficiency, because developers cannot easily …
Regression testing provides important pass or fail signals that developers use to make decisions after code changes. However, flaky tests, which pass or fail even when the code …
