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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Regression testing is a crucial part of software development. It checks that software changes
do not break existing functionality. An important assumption of regression testing is that test …

Regression testing is increasingly important with the wide use of continuous integration. A
desirable requirement for regression testing is that a test failure reliably indicates a problem …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Probabilistic programming systems and machine learning frameworks like Pyro, PyMC3,
TensorFlow, and PyTorch provide scalable and efficient primitives for inference and training …
