View Source Credo.Check.Consistency.ExceptionNames (Credo v1.7.0)

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

explanation

Explanation

Exception names should end with a common suffix like "Error".

Try to name your exception modules consistently:

defmodule BadCodeError do
  defexception [:message]
end

defmodule ParserError do
  defexception [:message]
end

Inconsistent use should be avoided:

defmodule BadHTTPResponse do
  defexception [:message]
end

defmodule HTTPHeaderException do
  defexception [:message]
end

While this is not necessarily a concern for the correctness of your code, you should use a consistent style throughout your codebase.
