DetachedTestCase

Usage: pmd check -d <source code folder> -R category/java/errorprone.xml/DetachedTestCase -format <output format>

Description:

The method appears to be a test case since it has public or default visibility, non-static access, no arguments, no return value, has no annotations, but is a member of a class that has one or more JUnit test cases. If it is a utility method, it should likely have private visibility. If it is an ignored test, it should be annotated with @Test and @Ignore.

Example:

public class MyTest {
    @Test
    public void someTest() {
    }

    // violation: Not annotated
    public void someOtherTest () {
    }

}
