   Hi Martin Lippert (@martinlippert), I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

   No built-in support exists today for replacing the method name with JUnit’s @DisplayName in the Test Explorer. You can track or upvote the feature request and use a custom DisplayNameGenerator as a workaround:

   • Feature request: Show display name in test report (applies equally to Test Explorer)
     Show display name in the test report #956
   • Example of a custom JUnit 5 @DisplayNameGenerator

   Other references with low confidence

   • Issue Display name is not updated after running #1448 – Display name is not updated after running
     Display name is not updated after running #1448 (comment)

   The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
