+#### Naming guidelines
+
+- Name the test `<area>_test.py`, where area can be one of the following:
+    - `feature` for tests for full features that aren't wallet/mining/mempool, eg `feature_rbf.py`
+    - `interface` for tests for other interfaces (REST, ZMQ, etc), eg `interface_rest.py`
+    - `mempool` for tests for mempool behaviour, eg `mempool_reorg.py`
+    - `mining` for tests for mining features, eg `mining_prioritisetransaction.py`
+    - `p2p` for tests that explicitly test the p2p interface, eg `p2p_disconnect_ban.py`
+    - `rpc` for tests for individual RPC methods or features, eg `rpc_listtransactions.py`
+    - `wallet` for tests for wallet features, eg `wallet_keypool.py`
+- use an underscore to separate words
+    - exception: for tests for specific RPCs or command line options which don't include underscores, name the test after the exact RPC or argument name, eg `rpc_decodescript.py`, not `rpc_decode_script.py`
+- Don't use the redundant work `test` in the name, eg `interface_zmq.py`, not `interface_zmq_test.py`
+
 #### General test-writing advice
 
 - Set `self.num_nodes` to the minimum number of nodes necessary for the test.
