14.7Test Retry Strategy

export default defineConfig({
  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,  // Retry twice in CI, never locally
});

// Per-test retry override
test('flaky external service', async ({ page }) => {
  test.fixme(); // Mark as known-flaky, skip until fixed
});

Investigating Flaky Tests

1. Check Trace Viewer for timing issues
2. Look for missing await statements
3. Check for shared state between tests
4. Look for dependency on external services
5. Verify locators are stable (not position-dependent)
