 If you're in luck, bisect will point you to a suspect. If not, you might wanna read further...
 
+# Detailed description
+For technical details, see also the implementation [tracker bug](https://crbug.com/711249). The flake bisect approach has the same intentions as [findit](https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/cat/findit), but uses a different implementation.
+
+## How does it work?
+A bisect job has 3 phases: calibration, backwards and inwards bisection. During calibration, testing is repeated doubling the total timeout (or the number of repetitions) until enough flakes are detected in one run. Then, backwards bisection doubles the git range until a revision without flakes is found. At last, we bisect into the range of the good revision and the oldest bad one. Note, bisection doesn't produce new build products, it is purely based on builds previously created on V8's continuous infrastructure.
+
+## Bisection fails when...
+* No confidence can be reached during calibration. This is typical for one-in-a-million flakes or flaky behavior only visible when other tests run in parallel (e.g. memory hungry tests).
+* The culprit is too old. Bisection bails out after a certain number of steps, or if older builds are not available anymore on the isolate server.
+* The overall bisect job times out. In this case it might be possible to restart it with an older known bad revision.
+
 ## Properties for customizing flake bisect
+* extra_args: Extra arguments passed to V8's run-tests.py script.
+* repetitions: Initial number of test repetitions (passed to run-tests.py's --random-seed-stress-count option; unused if total_timeout_sec is used).
+* timeout_sec: Timeout parameter passed to run-tests.py.
+* to_revision: Revision known to be bad. This is where bisection will start.
+* total_timeout_sec: Initial total timeout for one entire bisect step. During calibration, this time is doubled several times if needed. Set to 0 to disable and use the 'repetitions' property instead.
+* variant: Name of the testing variant passed to run-tests.py.
+
+## Properties you won't need to change
 * bisect_buildername: Master name of the builder that produced the builds for bisection.
 * bisect_mastername: Name of the builder that produced the builds for bisection.
 * build_config: Build config passed to V8's run-tests.py script (there the parameter name is `--mode`, example: `Release` or `Debug`).
-* extra_args: Extra arguments passed to V8's run-tests.py script.
 * isolated_name: Name of the isolated file (e.g. bot_default, mjsunit).
-* repetitions: Initial number of test repetitions (passed to run-tests.py's --random-seed-stress-count option; unused if total_timeout_sec is used).
 * swarming_dimensions: Swarming dimensions classifying the type of bot the tests should run on. Passed as list of strings, each in the format name:value.
 * test_name: Fully qualified test name passed to run-tests.py. E.g. `mjsunit/foobar`.
-* timeout_sec: Timeout parameter passed to run-tests.py.
-* to_revision: Revision known to be bad, where backwards bisection will start.
-* total_timeout_sec: Initial total timeout for one entire bisect step. During calibration, this time is doubled several times if needed. Set to 0 to disable and use the 'repetitions' property instead.
-* variant: Name of the testing variant passed to run-tests.py.

+## Tips and tricks
+### Bisecting a hanging test (e.g. dead lock)
+If a failing run times out, while a pass is running very fast, it is useful to tweak the timeout_sec parameter, so that bisection is not delayed waiting for the hanging runs to time out. E.g. if the pass is usually reached in <1 second, set the timeout to something small, e.g. 5 seconds.
+### Getting more confidence on a suspect
+In some runs, confidence is very low. E.g. calibration is satisfied if four flakes are seen in one run. During bisection, every run with one or more flakes is counted as bad. In such cases it might be useful to restart the bisect job setting to_revision to the culprit and using a higher number of repetitions or total timeout than the original job and confirm that the same conclusion is reached again.
+### Working around known timeout issues in windows ([crbug.com/v8/8170](https://crbug.com/v8/8170))
+Sometimes the overall timeout option doesn't work on windows. In this case it's best to estimate a fitting number of repetitions and set total_timeout_sec to 0.
+### Test behavior depending on random seed
+Rarely, a code path is only triggered with a particular random seed. In this case it might be beneficial to fix it using extra_args, e.g. `"extra_args": ["--random-seed=123"]`. Otherwise, the stress runner will use different random seeds throughout. Note though that a particular random seed might reproduce a problem in one revision, but not in another.
