What makes automated tests/checks flakey?

[mwinteringham (Mark Winteringham)]

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. Flakey checks are definitely an annoying issue for all of us and I feel that frustration in your comments

One small request, would any of you be able to expand your thoughts around this conversation in this question as well?

What maintenance do you have to carry out on automated checks?

Hi all, I’m seeking community thoughts on the following question for an upcoming course I’m working on. What maintenance do you have to carry out on automated checks? I’d love to hear about triggers for maintenance. What happens in your context that results in you having to maintain your checks. I look forward to seeing what everyone shares.
