You should not be afraid to delete tests that are no
longer providing value, no matter whether you
originally planned to keep them or not. We tend to
treat tests as these holy creatures that live blameless,
irreproachable lives once they have sprung into
existence.

Not so.
!
The maintenance required to keep a test running
weighs against its value in further development.
Sometimes these lines cross, and the test simply
becomes a burden on the project. Having the skill and
experience to recognize a burdensome test is
something we should be bringing to our clients, as well
as the fortitude to rewrite it, rethink it, or delete it.
