AVA comes with built-in support for async functions (async/await). This allows you to write shorter and clearer tests.

This rule will report an error when it finds a test that returns an expression that looks like a Promise (containing a `.then()` call), which could be simplified by using the async/await syntax.

## Examples

```js
import test from 'ava';

// ❌
test('foo', t => {
	return foo().then(res => {
		t.is(res, 1);
	});
});

// ✅
test('foo', async t => {
	t.is(await foo(), 1);
});
```
