Test Retries in Cypress

   What you’ll learn What are test retries? Why are test retries important? How to configure test retries Introduction:- End-to-end (E2E) tests excel at testing complex systems. However, there are still behaviors that are hard to verify and make tests flaky (i.e., unreliable) and fail sometimes due to unpredictable conditions (eg., temporary outages in external dependencies, random network errors, etc.). Some other common race conditions that could result in unreliable tests include: Animations API calls Test server / database availability Resource dependencies availability Network issues With test retries, Cypress is able to retry failed tests to help reduce test flakiness and continuous integration (CI) build failures. By doing so, this will save your team valuable time and resources so you can focus on what matters most to you. How It Works By default, tests will not retry when they fail. You will need to  enable test retries in your configuration  to use this feature. Once test ret
