From my experience, Flaky Tests originate from three fundamental problems.<br><br>1) Synchronization issues - A synchronization issue comes from not having a precise understanding of the environment's state. Most Automation Engineers would reduce most of their flaky tests by mastering the following four synchronizations (translated into automation code).<br> 1) Does an object exist at this exact moment in time?<br> 2) Does an object not-exist at this exact moment in time?<br> 3) Does an object exist in this maximum amount of time, rechecking on this interval of time?<br> 4) Does an object not-exist in this maximum amount of time, rechecking on this interval of time?<br><br>These four fundamental synchronization methods will make a significant difference in reducing the flakiness of automation.<br><br>2) Object Locator Strategy - There are so many different ways to identify an object. Each test engineer generally has their favorites, and I have mine as well. Regardless of approach, your locator strategy should be testable, without the need to see it work in the running automation. Chrome Developer Tools provides an excellent way to debug locators, allowing the automation engineer to tune and refine them before implementing them within the automation.<br><br>3) Automation Evaluation - The automation Engineer should have an approach to evaluate what should and should not be automated. Developing automation can be like playing with Lego's. An undisciplined Automation Engineer can be tempted to automate everything in sight, regardless of it being the right candidate for automation. - <br><br>Here's a good article on these topics - https://testguild.com/podcast/automation/a278-greg-max/</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="2583919345212854774">Reply</a><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-864845953"><a target="_self" href="https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=15045980&postID=2583919345212854774">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c2583919345212854774-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c2583919345212854774-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div><li class="comment" id="c4084096053378482074"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/16936297152848699726" rel="nofollow">Zahid</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://testing.googleblog.com/2020/12/test-flakiness-one-of-main-challenges.html?showComment=1608285826122#c4084096053378482074">December 18, 2020 at 2:03:00 AM PST</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">Great Points there Greg!<br><br>In my experience, test flakiness is mostly due to-<br>a) the application under test not able to handle concurrent hits or a series of very frequent hits.<br>And this certainly raises a concern on the application performance.<br><br>b) an unstable or weak network connection.(this is true)<br><br>If your application is not designed to scale properly, your tests will eventually fail.</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-87827393"><a target="_self" href="https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=15045980&postID=4084096053378482074">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c4084096053378482074-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c4084096053378482074-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c4084096053378482074-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="4084096053378482074">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c4084096053378482074-ce"></div></li></div><div id="c2583919345212854774-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="2583919345212854774">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c2583919345212854774-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c1437478094943098859"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqReW7i0s-jxXGIne7j_G8Rti_xBN3-_hx7tOg_K4UCc7aYKHeQP9lucItEw9h8fwT0zL_3d1In0Ktm5yweG79TGpYU-pqLptmcorfyMSo7gPFv5lVWS754KrW6uVpLls/s45-c/oleksandrPodoliako.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/08523807377133602789" rel="nofollow">oleksandr.podoliako</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://testing.googleblog.com/2020/12/test-flakiness-one-of-main-challenges.html?showComment=1609866387309#c1437478094943098859">January 5, 2021 at 9:06:00 AM PST</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">> What I would like to see is a breakdown of how many failures fall into which category.<br><br>I conducted a small survey, which partially answers to the question.
