Flaky tests are non-deterministic tests that both pass and fail when no new code changes
have been introduced to the code under test. This is a widespread problem for the …

When a program is nondeterministic, it is difficult to test and debug. Nondeterminism occurs
even in sequential programs: for example, as a result of iterating over the elements of a hash …

Regression testing is the most wide-spread method to ensure the quality of software
systems. Whenever a change is made to the software, tests are run to ensure bugs are not …

As software evolves, developers typically perform regression testing to ensure that their
code changes do not break existing functionalities. During regression testing, developers …

Flaky tests, that yield varying outcomes for an invariant codebase, hinder regression testing.
If one is not aware that they behave non-deterministically, their outcome may incorrectly …

Test flakiness is a topmost concern in software test automation. While conducting pre-
deployment testing, those tests that are flagged as flaky are put aside for being either …

Uncontrollability is troublesome for unit testing. It causes a non-deterministic behavior where
the same input can produce different results based on different executions. The non …

Software specifications assist in the implementation of software by stating expected software
behavior. Many software specifications are deterministic, ie, the software produces the same …

Summary form only given. Engineering Change Order or ECO phase is always challenging
for any family of chip design. High Performance Microprocessors are largest and most …

Flaky tests plague regression testing in Continuous Integration environments by slowing
down change releases, wasting development effort, and also eroding testers trust in the test …
