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 …

When developers make changes to their code, they typically run regression tests to detect if
their recent changes (re) introduce any bugs. However, many tests are flaky, and their …

A flaky test is a test that may lead to different results in different runs on a single code under
test without any change in the test code. Test flakiness is a noxious phenomenon that slows …

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 …

A flaky test is a test that both passes and fails periodically without any code changes, and its
uncontrolled uncertainty will destroy the value of the test suites and even cause developers …

In recent years, researchers and practitioners have been studying the impact of test smells
on test maintenance. However, there is still limited empirical evidence on why developers …

Continuous delivery of cloud systems requires constant running of jobs (build processes,
tests, etc.). One issue that plagues this continuous integration (CI) process are intermittent …

Industrial reports indicate that flaky tests are one of the primary concerns of software testing
mainly due to the false signals they provide. To deal with this issue, researchers have …

A flaky test is a test case whose outcome changes without modification to the code of the test
case or the program under test. These tests disrupt continuous integration, cause a loss of …

Context: Flaky tests plague regression testing in Continuous Integration environments by
slowing down change releases and wasting testing time and effort. Despite the growing …
