Hidden Meaning

Definition:

  • Where something that should be part of the execution of the test, and appear in a test report, is hidden in a comment – essentially comment instead of name

Code Example:

@Test
public void restApi() {
    int response = client.get("/endpoint");

    // the status code returned from the get
    // should be OK, indicating
    // the endpoint is healthy
    assertEquals(200, response);
}
