Java: Do we need to explain what a "sut" is?

Created on 25 May 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: exercism/java

In a recent pull request I noticed that some tests (e.g. binary-search) use the term sut. I'm familiar with this, and it seems disciple-wide rather than Java-specific, but I didn't know if new practitioners may still potentially find it confusing. There are a few actions we could take here;

  • do nothing; assume it's clear as-is, when used;
  • standardize tests so that they all use sut, and add contextual commentary the first time it's used;
  • standardize tests so that they all avoid using sut;
  • probably others I haven't thought of.

Looking for opinions, @exercism/java! :)

I would prefer standardising tests so that they avoid using sut or at least explain it the first time it's used :)

This should now be captured in issues #621, #622, #623 and #624 :)

Awesome, thanks!
