  7. TIP 1: ONLY RUN THE most important

  8. Run on command line Run with ALM tool of choice

  9. TIP 2: STRESS TEST • 200 tests and each one fails 1% of the time - full pass 13% • Big set but 20 of these are flaky and fail 10% - at least one of these will fail 88% of the time. • FULLY PASSING TEST SUITE ONCE A FORTNIGHT

  11. Stress Test

  12. TIP 3: Use FUZZY STRING MATCHING The C# step is
