Description
section.descriptionA test suite fails just often enough that people stop trusting it. Participants investigate flaky tests using failure history, isolation runs, timing evidence, seeded data, network mocks, shared state, and assertion quality.
The lab ends with verdicts: fix the product, fix the test, quarantine briefly, or delete the test because it never protected anything. It is designed for teams that want confidence without pretending every red build means the same thing.
