Test Naming Linter
Consistent test naming is critical for maintaining large automation suites. Paste a list of your test function names into this tool. It uses regex-based linting to check for adherence to common conventions (e.g., Given_When_Then or Should_ExpectedBehavior_When_StateUnderTest). It highlights violations and suggests fixes to keep your codebase clean.

Why enforce test naming conventions?
In suites with thousands of tests, the test name is often the only documentation for what a feature should do. Consistent naming ensures that when a test fails (e.g., in a CI pipeline), developers can immediately understand the intended behavior without reading the test code.
What is Method_State_Behavior?
Made popular by Roy Osherove in "The Art of Unit Testing", this convention relies on three PascalCase segments separated by underscores. Example: WithdrawMoney_InsufficientFunds_ThrowsException.
What is Given_When_Then?
Originating from Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), this emphasizes the scenario. It requires the words Given, When, and Then to structure the setup, action, and assertion. Example: Given_EmptyCart_When_CheckoutClicked_Then_ShowsWarning.
