Metadata

  • Branch: refactor/test-arch-remove-repetitive-context-phrases
  • Commit Message: refactor(tests): remove repetitive context phrases from Behave step definitions
  • Milestone: (none — backlog, see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #5407

Description

In some feature files, such as features/acms/uko_layer3_vocabularies.feature, there is a pattern of repeating a context-specific phrase at the end of almost every step. In this particular file, the phrase "for uko_l3" is appended to nearly every line.

This practice makes the scenarios verbose, harder to read, and less maintainable. The context of the test should be established once, for example in a Given step or via a tag, and the subsequent steps should implicitly operate within that context.

Subtasks

  • Identify all feature files that have this pattern of repetitive context phrases in their steps.
  • Refactor the step definitions and feature files to remove the repetitive phrases.
  • Use the Behave context object or other mechanisms to manage the context implicitly.
  • Ensure that all tests still pass after the refactoring.

Definition of Done

  • All repetitive context phrases have been removed from the Behave steps.
  • The feature files are more concise and readable.
  • The test suite is easier to maintain.
  • All tests pass.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.8.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
