Test Code Smells (Full Detail)

L1 Readability Smells

Obscure Test

• Problem: test name does not reveal business scenario being tested
• Detection: generic names like Test1(), ProcessOrderTest(), or names requiring reading test body to understand
• Solution: rename to Given_When_Then or should_do_expected_thing_when_condition format

Before: public void Test1() { /* ... */ }
After:  public void ProcessOrder_PremiumCustomer_AppliesCorrectDiscount() { /* ... */ }
