What is the Stop Chasing Test Failures in CI/CD course about?

Every sprint, your CI/CD pipeline generates test failures. Many are flaky , same test, different outcome, no code change. You re-run, re-escalate, re-document. Engineers wait. Releases stall. You know which tests are noisy, but there’s no system to flag, track, or auto-classify them. The spreadsheet grows. The cycle repeats.

The situation this course is for

Every sprint, your CI/CD pipeline generates test failures. Many are flaky , same test, different outcome, no code change. You re-run, re-escalate, re-document. Engineers wait. Releases stall.

Who this is for

Mid-senior Quality Engineer in a high-release-velocity environment managing complex test suites and CI/CD pipelines with recurring flaky test noise

Who this is not for

Entry-level QA analysts, manual testers without CI/CD access, or managers looking for team-wide tooling procurement advice
