This documentation explains how to use 'describe' and 'it' blocks to structure and organize your tests effectively.
Describe Block
This is cypress method of grouping multiple related tests
together
It helps in organizing test cases into logical sections, making the test suite more readable and maintainable.
Usage of Describe block
- Organization - Put together tests that relate to the same functionality or feature within a describe block
- Readability - Provide a clear overview of what each group of tests is testing
- Setup and Teardown - Use hooks (before, beforeEach, after, afterEach) within a describe block to manage setup and teardown tasks for that group of tests.
It Block
This is a single test case within an overall test file
-It block contains two arguments:
A string containing what the test should do (Description)
An argument which is a callback function that contains the actual test
