This is a break out issue from #364467: Remove-items followed by update items does not work, see comments #35 to #37.

Problem:

Some modules have more than one test file. For instance if a module has a test module, it has at least three files: mymodule.test, mymodule_test.module, mymodule_test.info. This adds to the overall clutter in the modules directory, or 'filesoup' like webchick called it :).

Suggested solution:

Keep all test files in a subdirectory tests/ in the module directory.

You can already put everything in there..? Specifically what are you looking to have changed.

That's great to know that we _can_ - I wasn't certain about that.

However, this is more about the convention which is not consistent: http://drupal.org/node/364467#comment-1272004

- afterthought: maybe this is not a simpletest issue then?

We discussed this as Drupalcon DC and came to the conclusion that test goes in root [modulename].test and all related files go in tests/ directory.

Please make issues for specific cases.
