I see these a lot, and I appreciate the perspective that maybe they should be deleted. Upon getting test failures the instinct is to fix them to make them pass rather than considering if they are valuable at all. More tests should be deleted instead of accumulating infinitely.
Ugh, Stack Overflow is giving me a captcha when linking my default "London vs. Chicago schools of testing" explanation. So I should find a new one.
I've always felt that Mockist/London-style testing makes this worse. Chicago testing all the way.
Also, always happy to see a Testing on the Toilet link :)
