When it comes to the development world, the term ‘flaky tests’ often elicits sighs and eye-rolls. Developers, QA Engineers, and organizational leaders are all too familiar with the drain these tests can create in a CI/CD pipeline. In the past, combating flaky tests has been a bit like fighting fire with fire. Companies like Google and Spotify have developed their own complex mathematical models and aggressive quarantine approaches to mitigate the issue. But what if you could say goodbye to flaky tests once and for all? Enter Orangebeard.
Why Traditional Methods Aren’t Enough
Traditional approaches to dealing with flaky tests, such as sprint planning, automatic retries, and code scanning, can be time-consuming and require constant manual intervention. These methodologies often serve as band-aid solutions to a deeper problem. For instance, GitHub found that 24% of their tests exhibit flakiness, and despite employing some of the brightest minds in tech, the problem persists.
