## 🔧 Fix Recommendations

### 1. Timing Issues (High Variance)

**Detection**: Coefficient of variation > 0.5

**Recommendation**:
```typescript
// Instead of fixed delays:
// await sleep(1000);

// Use explicit waits with conditions:
await waitFor(() => element.isVisible(), {
  timeout: maxDuration * 1.5,
  interval: 100
});
```

### 2. Environmental Issues

**Detection**: Environment changes > 30%

**Recommendation**:
```typescript
// Mock external services:
jest.mock('./externalService', () => ({
  fetchData: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue({ data: 'mocked' })
}));

// Clean environment before each test:
beforeEach(() => {
  process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';
  jest.clearAllMocks();
});
```

### 3. Resource Contention

**Detection**: Outliers > 10% of runs

**Recommendation**:
```typescript
// Run resource-intensive tests serially:
module.exports = {
  maxWorkers: 1, // For specific test files
};

// Add resource cleanup:
afterEach(async () => {
  cache.clear();
  await db.disconnect();
  global.gc && global.gc();
});
```

### 4. Isolation Issues

**Detection**: Pass rate variance with order dependency

**Recommendation**:
```typescript
// Reset global state before each test:
beforeEach(() => {
  ServiceLocator.reset();
  jest.resetModules();
  await db.migrate.latest();
});

// Avoid shared state:
test('test 1', () => {
  const data = [];
  data.push(1);
  expect(data).toHaveLength(1);
});
```

```typescript
// LearningEngine can consume detection data
const coordinator = new FlakyDetectionSwarmCoordinator(memory);
const results = await coordinator.retrieveResults();

// TestExecutor can feed test results
await coordinator.detectAndStore(testHistory);

// QualityGate can use flaky metrics
const stats = await coordinator.getAggregateStatistics();
if (stats.bySeverity.critical > 0) {
  return { status: 'fail', reason: 'Critical flaky tests detected' };

## 🚀 Usage Examples

### Basic Detection

```typescript
import { FlakyTestDetector } from './src/learning';

const detector = new FlakyTestDetector({
  minRuns: 5,
  passRateThreshold: 0.8,
  confidenceThreshold: 0.7
});

const flakyTests = await detector.detectFlakyTests(testHistory);

flakyTests.forEach(test => {
  console.log(`🔴 ${test.name}: ${(test.passRate * 100).toFixed(1)}%`);
  console.log(`   Pattern: ${test.failurePattern}`);
  console.log(`   Severity: ${test.severity}`);
  console.log(`   Fix: ${test.recommendation.suggestedFix}`);
});
```

### With Swarm Coordination

```typescript
import { FlakyDetectionSwarmCoordinator } from './src/learning/SwarmIntegration';
import { SwarmMemoryManager } from './src/coordination';

const memory = SwarmMemoryManager.getInstance();
const coordinator = new FlakyDetectionSwarmCoordinator(memory);

// Detect and store
const flakyTests = await coordinator.detectAndStore(testHistory);

// Other agents retrieve
const stored = await coordinator.retrieveResults();
console.log(`Total flaky: ${stored.statistics.total}`);
```

### Training the Model

```typescript
const trainingData = new Map<string, TestResult[]>();
const labels = new Map<string, boolean>();

// Add labeled examples
trainingData.set('flakyTest1', results);
labels.set('flakyTest1', true);

// Train
await detector.trainModel(trainingData, labels);
```
