A systematic approach to test stabilization for mobile applications

Badoo and Bumble put a lot of emphasis on test automation. Every day about 30 tasks get into the master branch in which the developers rely on autotests results without involving testers for manual checks. As a result, more than 135000 E2E tests are run every day and everyone relies on them for both releases and new functionality development.

Flaky E2E tests take additional time for analysis and fix, can hide problems in applications, and undermine the confidence of developers and testers.

Dmitry and Nadezhda will share their systematic approach to the analysis of the flaky tests caused by various reasons and will tell you how to prevent the appearance of flaky tests.

This talk will help reduce the time spent analyzing flaky tests to speed up the delivery of new functionality and have more time to improve the framework. By preventing flaky tests from appearing, you can make your tests more stable and build trust among developers and testers.
