You want reliable tests. But no matter how hard you try, you're going to run into intermittent test failures. These can be frustrating time wasters that distract you and your team and begin to erode the trust placed in the automated tests.

We all write tests with the best intention of having them pass and, when they fail, to reveal legitimate issues in the application we're testing. But that's not always easy to accomplish. Especially when your application is dependent upon third-party service providers (e.g. payment providers, social networks, etc).
