in thread document your test files

I’d be worried to find extensive documentation for individual test cases, though. Writing individual tests so complex as to require documentation strikes me as unwise. They should be too trivial to usefully document.

That implies there are millions of them; the intrisic complexity of the code won't go down. You'll either: (a) have complex tests, (b) have millions of simple tests, hopefully with no gaps in them, (c) have to write code to autogenerate tests, or (d) leave important chucks of code untested.

I don't think there's any silver bullet there. I do know that in most cases, self-documenting code isn't.
