Flaky Test Automation

This is a presentation I gave describing how the Office team at Microsoft not just manages, but utilizes flaky test results to their advantage.

This is a presentation where I describe how we integrated product telemetry signals with the automation systems in Office, and different ways of using that information to infer information about product quality as well as assess the performance and quality of your automation suite. This talk represents a key cornerstone priniple I used for later research applying AI to product testing practices.
