Description

I've been using formulas as the descriptions of tests. It might be more useful, in the long run, to actually explain what the formula or expression is testing, e.g. "nested parentheticals" or "order of operations".

Research direction

No file or test path is named. Inspect the existing test descriptions and identify cases whose formulas do not explain the behavior being checked, using examples such as nested parentheticals and order of operations. Done means the descriptions explain the expression under test while the test behavior remains unchanged.
