// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

The suite passes on every laptop in the building and fails every third run in CI. Nobody can reproduce it. Everybody has a theory.

This quiz covers Playwright's CI battle kit: retry semantics, flaky-status reporting, quarantine strategy, sharded reports, and the environmental gaps that make CI a different planet.

Speed bonus active.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

With retries: 2 in CI, a test fails once then passes. How does Playwright report it?

  1. AAs skipped
  2. BAs a clean pass, retries erase history
  3. CAs 'flaky', distinctly from 'passed', so retries mitigate without hiding the problem
  4. DAs failed, first result is final
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
