Lost Test

Definition:

• The number of tests being executed in a test suite has dropped (or has not increased as much as expected). We may notice this directly if we are paying attention to test counts or we may find a bug that should have been caused by a test that we know exists but upon poking around we discover that the test has been disabled.
