Abstract

Software test flakiness is drawing increasing interest among both academic researchers and practitioners. In this work we report our findings from a scoping review of white and grey literature, highlighting variations across flaky tests key concepts. Our study clearly indicates the need of a unifying definition as well as of a more comprehensive analysis for establishing a conceptual map that can better guide future research.
