Fix flaky tests by replacing arbitrary timeouts with condition-based polling that waits for actual state changes. This ensures tests proceed only after specific conditions are met, eliminating intermittent failures caused by timing issues.

Condition-based polling is a waiting mechanism that repeatedly checks for specific state changes rather than pausing execution for a fixed duration. It handles async operations by waiting until the target condition is explicitly met before proceeding.

Test suites fail intermittently under load due to race conditions and arbitrary timeouts that guess execution durations. Replacing fixed waits with condition-based polling resolves these timing issues by waiting for actual state changes.

Yes, you can use condition polling to wait for a specific state change instead of a fixed sleep duration. It replaces arbitrary timeouts by continuously checking until the target condition, such as a user login state, becomes true.

Avoid using arbitrary timeouts when tests fail intermittently due to timing issues or race conditions. Fixed durations cannot account for variable execution speeds, so condition-based polling is required to wait reliably for actual state changes.
