How can I fix flaky tests in my code?

Flaky tests are tests that sometimes pass and sometimes fail without any changes to the code. To fix them, you can start by identifying the root cause. Are they dependent on external factors like network calls or databases?

Yes, some of my tests rely on a database connection. What should I do?

Consider using mocks or stubs for your database interactions. This way, your tests won't fail due to external database issues.

That makes sense. What if the tests are still flaky after that?

If the tests are still flaky, review the test setup and teardown processes. Ensure that each test runs in isolation and doesn't affect others.

Thanks! Any tools you recommend for tracking flaky tests?

You can use tools like TestRigor or FlakyTestDetector to help identify and track flaky tests in your suite.
