Flaky tests are tests that sometimes pass and sometimes fail without any changes to the code. To troubleshoot them, start by identifying patterns in the failures. Are they related to specific tests, environments, or conditions?

To improve reliability, ensure tests are independent, avoid using real-time data, and mock external services. Also, consider using retries for known flaky tests.
