SYSE.31:8 - Common Anti-Patterns and How to Avoid Them

MisuseRepair
Rerun until green.Preserve and explain the failed observation; use repetition diagnostically.
Delete the slowest test to meet a time target.Recover the claim it answered and retain an adequate result or explicit limitation.
Two green branches imply a green mainline.Exercise the current combined revision and restore it when the integration fails.
Infrastructure failure is reported as product success because no assertion failed.Mark the product observation missing and repair the feedback mechanism.
