Flaky tests are tests that past most of the time but occasionally or in certain environments, they fail unexpectedly. Quite often, the flakiness of these tests is really just something like a timing issue, for example, the application might be making some kind of network call that's taking longer than usual and Cypress has a built-in way of avoiding this difficulty, it automatically retries commands and assertions until they pass, this might seem a little confusing at first, so let's take a look at simple example.
