Dead code Required

Delete tests with their feature

When you remove a feature, remove its tests, fixtures and settings in the same change.

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated .

How to do it

Search for the feature's name across tests, fixtures, settings and docs before you merge. Tests for removed code keep dead helpers alive and slow every run.

Example

Removed: src/gift-cards/, tests/gift-cards/, fixtures/gift-cards.json, GIFT_CARDS_ENABLED

How to check

The dead code finder covers test folders too. In review, a removal change also deletes the matching tests.
