flaky-test-quarantine

Overview

A "flaky test" is a test that produces inconsistent pass/fail results across runs without an underlying code change (google-flaky). Industry consensus from Google Testing Blog and similar practitioner-engineering sources is that flaky tests should be isolated from the gating path rather than left to mask real regressions or be silently ignored (google-flaky).

Terminology note: "flaky test" is a practitioner-emergent term popularized by the Google Testing Blog. ISTQB does not maintain a canonical entry for it. This skill cites industry-engineering sources, not ISTQB authority.
