What Is A Flaky Test How To Detect Fix & Avoid Them

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

You push a new feature, all local tests pass, and you open a pull request. The continuous integration (CI) pipeline kicks off, but a few minutes later, you see a dreaded red ‘X’. A test failed. You scrutinize your code, find nothing wrong, and re-run the job. This time, it passes with a green checkmark. If this scenario feels familiar, you’ve encountered a flaky test.

A flaky test is a test that exhibits non-deterministic behavior—it can both pass and fail across multiple runs without any changes to the code or its environment. While it might seem like a minor annoyance, test flakiness is a significant problem that can erode your team’s confidence in your test suite, slow down development velocity, and ultimately allow real bugs to slip into production. Understanding what causes these inconsistencies is the first step toward building a more reliable and trustworthy testing process.

Software Extensibility Is Key To Adoption

Fri, 25 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000

As with most commercial products, software today is mass produced for reasons of simple economics. But making the same software work for as many people as possible while also meeting the unique requirements different people and organizations have is a challenging task.

The strategies used today to provide extensibility at cost and at the level required by various enterprises are very similar to the ones used in the 80s and 90s, when PCs first took off and captured an enormous amount of the home computing market, and when open source software started gaining popularity.

.NET Framework Monitoring

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

.NET Framework

.NET Framework is a software development platform that runs on Windows. It provides a common set of libraries and tools that developers can use to build different types of applications, such as web apps, desktop apps, mobile apps, games, and more.

.NET Framework Monitoring

One of the challenges of developing and maintaining .NET applications is to ensure their performance, reliability, and security. To do that, developers need to monitor various aspects of their applications, such as code execution, memory usage, exceptions, requests, errors, and more. Monitoring .NET applications can help developers identify and troubleshoot issues before they affect the end users.

GitHub Repository Monitoring

GitHub Repository Monitoring

What Is GitHub Repository Monitoring?

GitHub repository monitoring involves tracking a plethora of metrics essential for maintaining robust and high-performing code repositories. As various developers contribute code, issues may arise that affect performance and reliability. Monitoring these aspects is crucial for ensuring smooth DevOps processes. A well-rounded approach to monitoring examines pull requests, commits, issues, and broader analytics related to repository activity.

Monitoring GitHub Repository With Netdata

Netdata provides a seamless path to monitor GitHub repositories. To monitor GitHub repositories, Netdata uses an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter, the GitHub Exporter. Netdata is designed to ingest data from any Prometheus exporter, allowing you to benefit from automated dashboards, alerts, and real-time insights without requiring standalone Prometheus servers or Grafana dashboards. This streamlined approach facilitates effective monitoring while saving overhead on setting up intricate monitoring systems.

Netdata at DEVworld Amsterdam 2025

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Netdata exhibited at DEVworld Conference in Amsterdam in February 2025, at Booth 18E. No talk at this one – just the team at the booth, running live demos and talking to developers.

DEVworld attracts a broad developer audience, not just infrastructure or DevOps specialists. That meant explaining Netdata to people who might not have thought much about monitoring beyond “is my app up or down.” The live demos worked well for this: showing real-time, per-second dashboards to someone who has only ever seen delayed, aggregated metrics makes the difference immediately obvious.

VSCode Monitoring

VSCode Monitoring

What Is VSCode?

Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a highly popular source-code editor developed by Microsoft. It includes key features like support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, and code refactoring. It’s vital for developers who require a streamlined and extensible environment to accelerate productivity and efficiency in coding tasks.

Monitoring VSCode With Netdata

Monitoring VSCode is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and ensuring a seamless coding experience. Netdata facilitates this by utilizing an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter to collect comprehensive metrics. Whether you are a developer or an IT professional, the flexibility of Netdata allows you to ingest data from any Prometheus exporter. Thus, you can access automated dashboards, real-time alerts, and comprehensive visualizations without needing to set up a standalone Prometheus server or Grafana. This streamlined monitoring solution increases efficiency and helps detect issues promptly in your development environment.
