How can "test smells" (analogous to code smells) indicate deeper problems in a test suite, and give an example?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Test smells are patterns suggesting maintainability or reliability issues, e.g. "assertion roulette" (multiple unexplained assertions in one test, making failures hard to diagnose) or excessive setup/mocking that signals poor design in the code under test
Correct Answer
Test smells are patterns suggesting maintainability or reliability issues, e.g. "assertion roulette" (multiple unexplained assertions in one test, making failures hard to diagnose) or excessive setup/mocking that signals poor design in the code under test
Recognizing test smells (like overly complex setup, duplicated logic, or testing multiple concerns in one test) helps teams refactor both tests and the production code they exercise for better design.
