          Issue ID: 128505
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: flaky tests in the automated test suites
           Product: QA
           Version: 4.2.0-dev
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: testscripts
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: cmarcum@apache.org
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
  Target Milestone: ---

This issue is to capture work on flaky automated tests.

When running the BVT and FVT tests there are still some that tests that
intermittently fail on some runs and not others. I believe this is generally
due to the faster processor speeds available now and usually can be fixed by
identifying where a thread sleep can be effective in allowing the test time to
catch up.
Some examples are getting the value of a text field of a property in an
assertion and it's evaluated before the value is completely retrieved. This can
be fixed by getting the value first and then using it in the assertion.
Other times focus is requested on a field and then the data is removed with
ctrl-a followed by delete but not all the data was selected in time and some
was left behind before typing in new data and similar scenarios.
