Posts tagged Flaky Tests — AI × software engineering, made practical.
You'll learn how known flaky tests teach coding agents to rerun real regressions until they pass, and how flake fingerprints, a rerun ledger and test-writing bans in CLAUDE.md stop that from happening.
A flaky test got 'fixed' three times in one week by three different engineers and their coding agents — each fix was locally correct, and stacked together they built a test that could no longer fail even when the underlying bug was real, which says something uncomfortable about what happens to a team's memory once iteration gets nearly free.
