Reduce flaky tests

Flaky tests produce inconsistent results when run against the same code and environment. They can block builds, waste investigation time, and reduce confidence in your test suite.

Test Engine, the testing layer of Buildkite Pipelines, helps you manage flaky tests throughout their lifecycle. Test Engine uses historical test data to detect unreliable tests, limit their effect on builds, notify the teams responsible for fixing them, and recognize when they become reliable again.

Detecting flaky tests

Test Engine workflow monitors identify tests whose results indicate flakiness. Labels then make these tests easy to find in Test Engine and on the Tests tab of a build.
