== Why is this an issue?

Annotating unit tests with more than one test-related annotation is not only useless but could also result in unexpected behavior like failing tests or unwanted side-effects.



This rule reports an issue when a test method is annotated with more than one of the following competing annotation:

* @Test
* @RepeatedTest
* @ParameterizedTest
* @TestFactory
* @TestTemplate


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
@Test
@RepeatedTest(2) // Noncompliant, this test will be repeated 3 times
void test() { }

@ParameterizedTest
@Test
@MethodSource("methodSource")
void test2(int argument) { } // Noncompliant, this test will fail with ParameterResolutionException
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
@RepeatedTest(2)
void test() { }

@ParameterizedTest
@MethodSource("methodSource")
void test2(int argument) { }
----
