 - place tests under `{package under test}_test` to enforce testing the external interfaces
 - if you need to test internally i.e. access non-exported stuff, call the file `{file under test}_internal_test.go`
 - use our testing utility for easier-to-read assertions: `import . "github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/testing"` and then use `Assert()`, `Equals()` and `Ok()`
-- don't try to describe the whole test by its function name. Instead use `t.Log` statements:
-```go
-// don't do this
-func TestLockingWhenThereIsAnExistingLockForNewEnv(t *testing.T) {
-    ...
-
-// do this
-func TestLockingExisting(t *testing.T) {
-    	t.Log("if there is an existing lock, lock should...")
-        ...
-       	t.Log("...succeed if the new project has a different path") {
-             // optionally wrap in a block so it's easier to read
-       }
-```
-- each test should have a `t.Log` that describes what the current state is and what should happen (like a behavioural test)
