Flakiness isn’t from your test framework

Published on May 8, 2024

This week I saw Filip Hric share a post from Gleb Bahmutov, ex-principal engineer for Cypress, explaining that the way cypress works and not using transport layers like playwright or WebDriver based frameworks makes its tests less flaky. That’s 100% not the reason your tests are flaky. I’m not going to lie, this shocked me that Gleb would say this as I’ve always thought of him as a good engineer after seeing his work on Cypress.
