Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering

Why Test Flakiness Wastes Developer Time and What to Do


Listen Later

In this episode of Software Testing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the hidden cost of flaky tests — tests that pass and fail without code changes. They break down a real-world case from a mid-size fintech company where flaky tests consumed 20% of developer time in a single quarter. They explore common causes like race conditions, async timeouts, and shared mutable state, then discuss practical strategies: quarantining flaky tests, using retry budgets, and investing in deterministic test environments. This is a must-listen for engineering teams trying to ship faster without losing confidence in their test suite. 8 minutes of actionable insight.
