            Bug ID: 72722
           Summary: Jenkins tests shouldn't go red when it's not its fault
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Quality Assurance

The MobileFrontend tests (in Firefox) have been flakey for some time. Take a
look at the list on the left for examples of recurring issues.

Example:
https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/view/Mobile/job/browsertests-MobileFrontend-en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/333/

I propose that when a test fails and the content of the Stacktrace contains one
of
*Timeout::Error (Timeout::Error)
* Net::ReadTimeout 
* 500 error (Our servers are currently experiencing a technical...)
the test should be marked as unreliable and should not be considered failure.

Could the test go amber when this happens instead? It would allow for better
visual scanning when things break.

If there are 2 timeout errors but one actual error the test should stay red as
there is a genuine error there.
