+# no export from test file (no-export)
+
+Prevents exports from test files. If a file has at least 1 test in it, then this
+rule will prevent exports.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule aims to eliminate duplicate runs of tests by exporting things from
+test files. If you import from a test file, then all the tests in that file will
+be run in each imported instance, so bottom line, don't export from a test, but
+instead move helper functions into a seperate file when they need to be shared
+across tests.
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+export function myHelper() {}
+
+module.exports = function() {};
+
+module.exports = {
+  something: 'that should be moved to a non-test file',
+};
+
+describe('a test', () => {
+  expect(1).toBe(1);
+});
+```
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+
+```js
+function myHelper() {}
+
+const myThing = {
+  something: 'that can live here',
+};
+
+describe('a test', () => {
+  expect(1).toBe(1);
+});
+```
+
+## When Not To Use It
+
+Don't use this rule on non-jest test files.
