Quarantine is a state that tells Momentic: “keep running this test, but don’t let failures fail the build.” It’s the right move for tests that are genuinely flaky or mid-investigation, better than skipping entirely because you still get data. When a test is quarantined:
  • It still runs on every momentic run and every CI job
  • Failures are reported as quarantined failures, not regular failures
  • The CLI returns a non-failing exit code even if quarantined tests fail
  • Runs still show up in the dashboard so you can investigate

​
Quarantine a test

CLI

npx momentic quarantine add <test> --reason <reason>

Quarantine dialog
To unquarantine, hover a test on the Quarantine page and pick Unquarantine.

​
Quarantine rules

Rules automate quarantine/unquarantine based on thresholds so you don’t have to intervene manually. Each rule has:
  • Action, quarantine or unquarantine
  • Metric, pass rate, failure count, or flake rate
  • Threshold, value that triggers the action
  • Window, period over which the metric is evaluated
Rule thresholds

​
Filters

Scope a rule to specific tests or runs:
  • Repository
  • Branch (useful for quarantining tests failing on main)
  • Labels (useful for stricter rules on a subset of tests)
