On Re-Testing

Re-executing a test without addressing the current issues is acceptable in only one scenario : for a defect replication, to eliminate the possibility of flaky tests or an unstable application. But don’t expect a different result if nothing has changed.

Now I know that the test has never technically failed and however inaccurate it is, it still produces a test result and even a broken test can give you valuable insights in your application behaviour (even uncover some risks). For a happy scenario testing however, you expect high throughput, low latency and a test report so successful, you’ve written it in green font, on a light green background- that’s how successful the testing you really want it.
