12 Tips for Writing Better Automated Tests

Thank you for reading the article :). I agree with things you wrote in your article, what I meant by avoiding magic values is to approve the readability of tests when you have some complex setups (for example you setup a database to test your repository layer). In those cases, I have found it is very hard to determine what some value means. If values are self-evident like in your example then I completely agree that you can inline the value.
