Quarantine

Quarantine is a soft-fail state for tests that are known to be flaky or broken. Quarantined tests still run, but their failures do not fail the suite; they go into a separate report so you can fix them without blocking shipping.

Quarantine is a loan, not a gift

Every quarantined test comes with a reason and an owner. Teams that quarantine without a followup end up with a graveyard. Set an expiration and review on a cadence.
