Why You Should Document Your Tests

This article argues for the necessity of documenting unit tests, explaining why seemingly obvious tests become unclear over time. It provides a Python code example to illustrate how test intent is often hidden, discusses the challenges of writing descriptive test names, and offers practical advice on documentation methods for different languages. It also mentions tools like 'interrogate' for enforcing docstring coverage in Python projects.
