I'm not aware of cider features that assume the convention -test for deftests. There is an assumption that the namespace ends in -test to automatically infer test namespaces (configurable via https://docs.cider.mx/cider/testing/running_tests.html#test-namespace-naming-convention) and the macros that define tests (configurable via https://docs.cider.mx/cider/testing/running_tests.html#macros-used-to-define-tests)

not really, test runners and CIDER look at ^:test metadata, as emitted by deftest and many other popular macros. So you can use whatever you please - I've never seen the opposite being an issue cc/ @U976F1AR2

Oh I read that as for the namespaces. Not for the vars

Thanks, folks. In this case, any ideas on why there’s this convention of using -test in test vars names? In principle, it would be redundant so I suppose there must be some good reason for it.

Just a lot of history. 🙂

Plus it sounds a bit more descriptive e.g. `test-this-and-that" or "this-and-that-test".

Got it. So it’s for humans, not machines. Not what I expected. Thanks!
