…astic#40650) I had previously revised these tests to utilize Jest's toBeCloseTo assertion, because it provides a precision parameter. My understanding when I implemented this test was that it would check n significant digits, so if I ran code like expect(myValue).toBeCloseTo(36000, 3), a value like 36015 would be accepted by the assertion. After seeing this test fail in a flaky way while testing other changes (it failed when myValue === 36001), I researched the function more closely and found that it does not behave this way. This led me to opt for the current solution, which should help avoid any flakiness issues while continuing to rely on the end-user simplicity of a snapshot. I do not expect a variance greater than 1 when running these tests, so the threshold of 100 should be sufficient to consider these tests stable.
