Unstable Tests

You know the ones. The tests that pass 93% of the time and always on the second or third run.

There are several solutuons to this problem.

  1. Ignore and rerun
  2. Keep tabs and invest in fixing on the third try
  3. Aggressivly fix them, frequently asking AI how to recreate the issue.

I have recently started on the third path. Unstable tests kill productivity. They will break when you don’t have the time to spare. Remove them mercylessly.
