Builds a persistent flakiness infrastructure dashboard from JUnit XML or JSON CI run history: defines the flake-rate metric (failures per test over a configurable window), authors the data model, generates a Grafana time-series panel JSON or configures a Datadog CI Visibility view, derives the quarantine-candidate query, and wires trend alerts. Also generates the periodic (weekly / monthly) test-suite trend report - total runs, suite duration, flakiness rate, top failing tests, time-to-green…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# flake-dashboard-author

> **Terminology note:** "flaky test" is a practitioner-emergent term used
> in the industry engineering tradition (Google Testing Blog,
> [google-flaky][gtb-flaky]). "Defect," "failure," and "test run" follow
> ISTQB Glossary v4.7.1 definitions. "Test suite" and "test case" are used
> per ISTQB as well.

[gtb-flaky]: https://testing.googleblog.com/2016/05/flaky-tests-at-google-and-how-we.html

A weekly markdown snapshot report gives a comparable point-in-time view. This
skill builds the persistent infrastructure layer: a live dashboard that
accumulates run history and surfaces the flake-rate metric continuously,
rather than on demand.

## Step 1 - Define the flake-rate metric

The canonical flake-rate formula for a single test `T` over a window of `N`
runs is:

```
flake_rate(T, window) = (failed_runs(T, window) + retried_passed_runs(T, window))
                        -------------------------------------------------------
                                      total_runs(T, window)
```

A run counts as "retried-passed" when the test framework reports it as
`flaky` (passed only after at least one retry). Playwright marks these in
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add testland/qa/flake-dashboard-author@sha256:ebfc41975697d4fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
