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 …

While some areas of software engineering knowledge present great advances with respect
to the automation of processes, tools, and practices, areas such as software maintenance …

Context: Modern software development increasingly relies on software testing for an ever
more frequent delivery of high quality software. This puts high demands on the quality of 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 …

Software testing assures that code changes do not adversely affect existing functionality.
However, a test case can be flaky, ie, passing and failing across executions, even for the …

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 …

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 …

A test is said to be flaky when it non-deterministically passes or fails. Test flakiness
negatively affects the effectiveness of regression testing and, consequently, impacts …

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 …

Flaky tests are problematic because they non-deterministically pass or fail for the same
software version under test, causing confusion and wasting development effort. While …
