Checkpoint: Advanced Testing

โญโญโญ advancedโณ 25 min read๐Ÿ“ Lesson 162 of 169

Prove you can make an untrustworthy suite trustworthy: isolate the flaky causes, then pin the behavior deterministically.

The exam question: CI is red, but rerunning the suite turns it green. What do you do first โ€” rerun again, or hunt the nondeterminism?

The checkpoint: a test-record audit plus a deterministic re-implementation. First classify which tests are untrustworthy and why (the flaky causes), then rewrite the risky ones around injected time, seeded randomness, and isolated state โ€” the exact moves from this module.
