 Replying to [comment:7 jrf]:

 discussion, is: what about test helper functions ? Should we set a
 convention for the placement of those ?

 bottom of a test class (or in an abstract test case). What do you think ?

 I think I would apply the same logic as for data providers here. If the
 helper function is only used in one or two tests, e.g. an `add_filter()`
 callback, I would expect to see it directly after the test.

 If the helper is used for multiple tests that do not necessarily belong
 together as a group, then I would expect to find the helper function after
 the `::setUp()`/`::tearDown()` methods, or at the bottom.
