Description

The current default pattern for the test classes inclusion pattern only allows for classes to start or end with 'Test' or end with 'TestCase'.

Could we change the default to also include classes that end with 'Tests', that is with an 's' at the end. It's of course quite common to have multiple tests in one class, thus have a FooBarTests class name.

It's often not noticed by developers who rely on their IDE to run tests. Then they never get run during CI. Thus the 'Important' priority.

Any reason it's not been included by default ? I couldn't find a previous issue about that topic, apologies if it's come up already.

Thanks,
François
