Rule java:S1874 "@Deprecated" code should not be used - in test code

[gab (Gabriel Vivas)]

Hi all,

For reference here is the announcement and the complete list of rules as of today:

Java Test Code: 40 more rules enabled by default

Hello Java devs, We want to help you write clean test code. As part of this, we’re reviewing our existing rules for main code to select those that make sense for test code as well. In the past weeks, we’ve enabled two batches of 20 rules each. Thus, 40 additional rules are now enabled by default in test code! Below is the complete list of rules. We are continuing this effort, so expect more rules in the future. Enjoy the updates and don’t forget to let us know what you think.

Our approach has been to try the rules internally with many projects to ensure they are not noisy and to enable only the ones that bring enough value. This also helps us notice potential false positives and improve the rules.

We are continuing this effort, so expect more rules in the future.
