Cypress Test -'Describe' Block and 'It' Block

Introduction

Cypress is an end to end testing framework designed for modern web applications.

• It has features that makes it powerful for testing which include it being: An all in one testing framework, Focusses on end to end and component testing, Runs in browser and another uniqueness is that it is written in javascript etc.

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.

Syntax Demonstration

Example

Usage of Describe block

1. Organization - Put together tests that relate to the same functionality or feature within a describe block
2. Readability - Provide a clear overview of what each group of tests is testing
3. 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:

1. A string containing what the test should do (Description)

2. An argument which is a callback function that contains the actual test

Syntax Demonstration

Example

Usage of It block

1. Single Responsibility
   Each it block should test a specific behavior or aspect of the
   functionality being tested

2. Descriptive Names
   Use clear and descriptive names for it blocks to indicate what is
   being tested

3. Assertions
   Include assertions to verify expected outcomes within each it block
