Learn to find flaky tests and understand their impact using the Flaky Tests dashboard

Trunk Flaky Tests detect flaky tests by analyzing test results. The health of your tests is displayed in the Flaky Tests dashboard.

Key repository metrics

Trunk Flaky Test provides key repo metrics based on the detected health status of your tests. You’ll find metrics for the following information at the top of the Flaky Test dashboard.

Metric	Description
Flaky tests	Number of flaky test cases in your repo.
PRs blocked by failed tests	PRs that have been blocked by failed tests in CI.

These numbers are important for understanding the overall health of your repo’s tests, how flaky tests impact your developer productivity, and the developer hours saved from quarantining tests. You can also view the trends in these numbers in the trend charts.

The trend charts display the New Test Cases added by day, as well as Test Transitions and Quarantined Runs. Test Transitions represent the number of tests that have transitioned to a particular status on a particular day, excluding new test cases (which default to a status of Healthy). If a bar shows 5 Healthy, 10 Flaky, and 2 Broken on a single day, that indicates 5 tests transitioned to Healthy, 10 to Flaky, and 2 to Broken on that day. Quarantined Runs represents the number of runs of quarantined tests by day.

Tests cases overview

You can view a table of all your test cases and their current status in Trunk Flaky Tests.

Filters can also be set on the table to narrow test results down by test status, quarantine setting, ticket status, or by the name, file, or suite name of the test case.

The table is sorted by default by the number of PRs impacted by the case, which is the best way to measure the impact of a flaky test. You can click on each test case to view the test case’s details.

Column	Description
Tests	The variant, file path, and name of the test case.
Status	The health status of the test case: Healthy, Flaky, or Broken. Broken indicates consistent high-rate failures; Flaky indicates intermittent failures.
Failure Rate	The percentage of CI runs failed due to this test case.
PRs Impacted	The number of PRs that have been affected by this test case failing in CI.
Last Run	The most recent timestamp for an upload test run.

Test Deletion & History

• Inactive tests disappear from the dashboard automatically after 30 days and are fully removed after 45 days. Tests cannot be manually deleted.
• Changing test identifiers (e.g., adding file paths) creates new test entries — merging with old history isn’t supported.

Test case details

You can click on any of the test cases listed on the Flaky Test dashboard to access the test case’s details. On a test’s details page, you can find:

• The test’s current status (Healthy, Flaky, or Broken)
• Which monitors are currently active for the test, and which monitor triggered each status change
• Visualizations and a timeline detailing the test’s health history
• A table of unique failure types for this test

This is in addition to information like ticket status and the current codeowner.

Code owners

If you have a codeowners file configured in your repos, you will see who owns each flaky test in the test details view. We support code owners for GitHub and GitLab repos.

This information will also be provided when creating a ticket with the Jira integration or webhooks.

Failure types

The Failure Types table shows the history of past test runs grouped by unique failure types.

The Failure Type is a summary of the stack trace of the test run. You can click on the failure type to see a list of test runs labeled by branch, PR, Author, CI Job link, duration, and time.

Failure details

You can click on any of these test runs to see the detailed stack trace:

You can flip through the stack traces of similar failures across different test runs by clicking the left and right arrow buttons. You can also see other similar failures on this and other tests.

Go to the CI job logs

If you want to see full logging of the original CI job for an individual test failure, you can click Logs in the expanded failure details panel to go to the job’s page in your CI provider.

Test history

Tests may transition between Healthy, Flaky, and Broken states multiple times over their lifetime. You can see previous status changes in Test History, as well as an explanation for why each transition occurred — including which monitor triggered it.
