Hi!
If you've recently fixed an intermittent test failure - please can you
see if the cause was something that should be documented on the best
practices guide:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Avoiding_intermittent_oranges
The page was last added to in 2011 - I'm keen to see us revive it - once
up to date the sheriffs will be advocating making it recommended reading
for engineer new-hires and reviewers. Rather than playing constant
whac-a-mole with intermittent failures, we should prioritise preventing
their introduction in the first place.
I'm also optimistic that we can use that page as the basis for some
one-off static analysis of our existing tests to find some quick wins
for reducing our orange factor [1].
Many thanks!
Ed
