Transforming test suites into croissants

Y Chen, A Yildiz, D Marinov… - Proceedings of the 32nd …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Software developers often rely on regression testing to ensure that recent changes made to
the source code do not introduce bugs. Flaky tests, which non-deterministically pass or fail …

A survey of flaky tests

O Parry, GM Kapfhammer, M Hilton… - ACM Transactions on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
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 …

Understanding flaky tests: The developer's perspective

M Eck, F Palomba, M Castelluccio… - Proceedings of the 2019 …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
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 …

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The smell of fear: on the relation between test smells and flaky tests

F Palomba, A Zaidman - Empirical Software Engineering, 2019 - Springer
Regression testing is the activity performed by developers to check whether new
modifications have not introduced bugs. A crucial requirement to make regression testing …

Surveying the developer experience of flaky tests

O Parry, GM Kapfhammer, M Hilton… - Proceedings of the 44th …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Test cases that pass and fail without changes to the code under test are known as flaky. The
past decade has seen increasing research interest in flaky tests, though little attention has …
