Notis

Find flaky tests in affiliate-supporting projects

Run a recurring CircleCI flaky test check so tests that pass and fail on the same commit are easier to find and address.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Flaky Tests

Finds tests that passed and failed in the same commit, across branches.

Why this helps

Flaky tests waste focus because they make it harder to tell whether a failure signals a real regression.

  • Surface tests that both pass and fail in the same commit
  • Give reliability cleanup a regular review point
  • Reduce repeat investigation of inconsistent failures

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adtraction and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe which project's flaky tests to report and how to summarize them for follow-up.
  • 4Pick the Notis cron trigger and choose the schedule.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

What qualifies as a flaky test in this report?

CircleCI identifies tests that passed and failed in the same commit. The action provides branch-agnostic insights.

Can it fix the flaky tests?

No. It identifies them for review; the workflow does not modify tests or project code.
