Go has an idiom like so https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/8da4386caceb3fdfaa90074bb29c77e8a99c7dad/api/kv_test.go#L27, when i mention name i’m referring to that string.

I get what your saying, we’ve all worked in terrible code bases, i’ve also worked in code bases where this kind of article was enforced. What you wound up with was something that was very wordy.

Almost always use parameterized style tests, always have a name field, I don’t use full sentences tho, that seems like too much. Don’t believe I’ve ever seen a test like that either

These toy examples feel like strawmen to me
