Flaky-Test Detector
Ingests your test-run history and ranks which tests are flaky, how often they fail-then-pass on the same commit, and how much CI time their reruns waste, so you fix the worst offenders instead of mass-retrying everything.
🎯The Problem
Flaky tests quietly destroy trust in CI. A test fails, someone hits re-run, it passes, and the cycle repeats until the team starts ignoring red builds entirely and a real failure slips through. Nobody knows which tests are actually flaky versus genuinely broken, because that signal is buried across hundreds of past runs.
💡The Solution
Connects to your CI and parses historical test results to compute a flakiness score per test (fail-then-pass rate on the same commit), ranks by frequency and wasted minutes, surfaces the likely cause bucket (timing, shared state, network, ordering), and can quarantine the worst ones via a generated skip or retry annotation.
👥Target Users
Dev teams of 3-30 with a real test suite (Jest, Pytest, Playwright, RSpec) on GitHub Actions or GitLab who are drowning in re-runs.
