[Retry(3)]
public abstract class InvokableTestBase(TestMode testMode)

ALL tests inheriting from InvokableTestBase automatically retry 3 times. This masks intermittent issues and makes it impossible to distinguish between flaky tests and genuine failures.

Impact

• Root causes of intermittent failures hidden
• Test execution time inflated when retries trigger
• Test results less reliable for decision-making

Suggested Fix

• Move [Retry(3)] to specific test classes that actually need it
• Document why specific tests need retries
• Track and report actual retry counts in CI logs
