Obscure In-Line Setup

An in-line setup should consist of only the steps and values essential to understanding the test. Essential but irrelevant steps should be encapsulated into helper methods. An obscure in-line setup covers too much setup functionality within the test method. This can hinder developers in seeing the relevant verification steps of the test.
