Language: C#

Severity: Notice

Category: Best Practices

Avoid sleeping in tests. It blocks the test execution and leads to unpredictable results.

class MyClass {
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMyMethod()
    {
        Thread.Sleep(500);
    }
}

class MyClass {
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMyMethod()
    {
        // statements
    }
}
