Every test suite has them: a few tests that usually pass but sometimes mysteriously fail when run on the same code. Since they can’t be reliably replicated, they can be difficult to fix. The good news for software testing is that there is a set of usual suspects that cause these issues: test order, async code, time, sorting and randomness. While walking through examples of each type, this presentation will show you methods for identifying a culprit that range from capturing screenshots to traveling through time. You will learn the skills to fix any flaky test fast, and strategies for monitoring and improving your test suite’s reliability overall.
