Test class without tests

Reports non-abstract test cases without any test methods. Such test cases usually indicate unfinished code or could be a refactoring leftover that should be removed.

Example:

  public class CrucialTest {
    @Before
    public void setUp() {
      System.out.println("setting up");
    }
  }
