There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing that almost-green test suite ruined by a couple of intermittent issues that are difficult to reproduce.

This presentation goes through a few of the more common reasons for these failures, shares some mitigation strategies and tells some stories about some intermittent failures that were caused by some surprising issues.
