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 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 …

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 …

Test flakiness forms a major testing concern. Flaky tests manifest non-deterministic
outcomes that cripple continu-ous integration and lead developers to investigate false alerts …

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 …

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 …

Non-deterministically passing and failing test cases, so-called flaky tests, have recently
become a focus area of software engineering research. While this research focus has been …

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 …

Flaky tests have gained attention from the research community in recent years and with
good reason. These tests lead to wasted time and resources, and they reduce the reliability …
