FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Test Name Validator checks test names against Given-When-Then, Should, and three-part conventions, flagging implementation-focused names.
What affects the result most?
Given-When-Then: describe precondition, action, and expected outcome — BDD style. Should pattern: 'it should return null when input is empty' — readable failure messages. Three-part name: [unit]_[scenario]_[expectedBehavior] — calculateTotal_withEmptyCart_returnsZero.
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
