it sounds like a commonality of your examples is that they are tests that fail for reasons other than having identified something broken that needs fixing. so that the failing test itself is a flaw when it's supposed to be helpful.

@DaveCousineau: Most of the examples have to do with code design. A bad code design can make tests brittle. Only items 1, 4 and 12 have to do specifically with bad tests.
