Has this strategy worked perfectly so far? I would imagine a best two of three method would work better like those used for integrity in high radiation environments. However, I'm guessing code is significantly more deterministic and the danger of false positives (tests passing when they shouldn't) is much smaller.
- jwatte 10y agoThis has worked well for many years. Most of the intermittently failing tests are older, from before we had robust dependency injection, and they get incrementally improved this way. False positives are also super costly for us, as everyone works on trunk (by design, to avoid skew) and deploys all ckeckins directly to production. "Best out of two" is sufficient for the old tests, and if someone creates new intermittent tests, we follow up with education so that isn't a persistent problem.
