As already stated this is a great subject for the workshop and to me it 
would help a lot.
Because, what is the point if you can write a test which is sometimes 
passing and sometimes failing and you're not sure if the problem is in 
the test or in the app?
So I vote for this workshop to be early in the schedule (I don't think 
the next one which is already agreed).

Kind regards,
