 - We use [JUnit 5](https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/) for testing. Please use the `Spec.kt` suffix on
   new test classes. If your new rule requires type resolution (i.e. it utilises `BindingContext`) then annotate your
   test class with `@KotlinCoreEnvironmentTest` and have the test class accept `KotlinCoreEnvironment` as a parameter.

 - Feel free to add your name to the contributors list at the end of the readme file when opening a pull request.
 - The code in `detekt-api` and any rule in `detekt-rules` must be documented. We generate documentation for our website based on these modules.
