Tests are what matter to me and my team, too. Tests = requirements. As another commenter pointed out, we use comments for why. Sometimes the commit history can help this, but a well-placed comment can shrink that effort. I get a feeling we may not pass OP’s litmus test, but I’d be curious if we would. We use the term self-documenting code, but that’s primarily because our tests are part of our code, and those tests are indeed our primary documentation.
