Flaky tests.
Named, fixed, quarantined.
Flaky tests are not random noise. They follow patterns, and the patterns are specific to each test framework. Once you name the pattern, you can kill it. This guide covers every major framework, with the fixes we have seen work across thousands of CI pipelines.
