What is the added value of the project ? I see that the PR caused by this project does not improve the source (it does a minor change to the test without any functional difference)

Thank you for your interest. This project broadly develops tools to detect and fix flaky tests. You may be contacting us because of a specific file that tracks tests and PRs, and likely included a PR to one of your projects.

If you find no value in (proactively) fixing flaky tests, just let us know the list of your projects, and we'll mark them DeveloperWontFix to not open PRs that you don't want. Many other projects have accepted the PRs as you can see with, e.g., curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TestingResearchIllinois/idoft/main/pr-data.csv | egrep 'PR Link|Accepted,' | less.

If you do have specific projects or tests where you'd like help with flaky tests, please let us know. Based on how complex the code is, some students may or may not be able to help.
