“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."
