Where was the source code of automated tests located at your previous workplace?

The source code of automated tests is usually stored in a version control system (e.g., Git) together with the main project code or in a separate repository if tests are isolated. This ensures ease of collaboration, versioning, and integration with CI/CD.

For example, in my previous project, tests were located in the tests/ folder within the main repository, allowing them to be run together with the build and quickly track changes.

It is important that tests are accessible to all team members and integrated into the development process.
