# Flaky Tests: Commit details in timeline

> We’ve added additional details about commits that trigger test status changes to test timelines in the Flaky Tests dashboard.

We’ve added additional details about commits that trigger test status changes to test timelines in
the Flaky Tests dashboard.

A test will be identified as flaky if it produces inconsistent results on the same git commit. This
is often seen when test failures are automatically retried in CI. This flaky behavior can be
detected on stable branches (for example, main), PR branches, or merge branches.

Previously, Flaky Tests did not specify what type of commit led to a status change in the flaky test
dashboard. The same “Inconsistent results on the same commit” message would be included in the
timeline on the test details page.

Now, the timeline will say where inconsistent test results are seen, whether it is a stable, PR, or
merge commit:

When there is a status change due to a stable branch commit, the name of the branch will be included
in the message.

This helps to easily identify the source of flakiness when tests are rerun on the same commit.
