It's a common scenario - you are starting a new job as a test engineer, excited to improve your new organization's testing culture, eager to instill confidence in the software, and BAM! instead of writing new tests, you are tasked with fixing legacy ones! If this sounds familiar, this talk is for you. I'll cover strategies for taking inventory of flaky tests and setting goals to address flakiness across a test suite. In addition, you will learn to get to the bottom of what's causing flakiness in your tests, and to communicate with other engineering teams about those tests. Although everyone's application has its own quirks, and every organization has its own workflows, this talk aims to give advice that anyone can use in their own tests and when dealing with their fellow engineers. By the end of this talk, you will feel confident enough to debug your own flaky tests, and get to the fun part - writing new ones!
