Tar directory into archive with the same name as the directory?

Is there an elegant one-liner to tar/archive the whole directory and delete it afterwards? So far I came up with bulky solutions.

from:

# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 4 15:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 4 14:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 4 14:59 stresstest

to:

# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 4 15:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 4 14:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 4 14:59 stresstest.tar.gz

EDIT #1

The problem is I do not know the name of the directory in advance (it is dynamically created, so next time it will be different), but it will always be the only directory here.

You say you have a solution (but it is too big). But you don't show it.
