Tests that fail inconsistently, without changes to the code under test, are described as flaky.
Flaky tests do not give a clear indication of the presence of software bugs and thus limit the …

Despite the capability in successfully fixing more and more real-world bugs, existing
Automated Program Repair (APR) techniques are still challenged by the long-standing …

Software testing assures that code changes do not adversely affect existing functionality.
However, a test case can be flaky, ie, passing and failing across executions, even for the …

In software debugging, fault localization is the most difficult, expensive, tedious, and time-
consuming task, particularly for large-scale software systems. This is due to the fact that it …

A flaky test is a test case whose outcome changes without modification to the code of the test
case or the program under test. These tests disrupt continuous integration, cause a loss of …

Context Automated classifiers, often based on machine learning (ML), are increasingly used
in software engineering (SE) for labelling previously unseen SE data. Researchers have …

Non-deterministically passing and failing test cases, so-called flaky tests, have recently
become a focus area of software engineering research. While this research focus has been …

Test flakiness forms a major testing concern. Flaky tests manifest non-deterministic
outcomes that cripple continu-ous integration and lead developers to investigate false alerts …

Regression testing can greatly help in software development, but it can be seriously
undermined by flaky tests, which can both pass and fail, seemingly nondeterministically, on …

Continuous delivery of cloud systems requires constant running of jobs (build processes,
tests, etc.). One issue that plagues this continuous integration (CI) process are intermittent …
