They are the same thing. I am using TypeScript as the programming language, and when I look into the definition file from the Jest package source code from /@types/jest/index.d.ts, I can see the following code.

Obviously, there are lots of different names of 'test', and you can use any of them.

declare var beforeAll: jest.Lifecycle;
declare var beforeEach: jest.Lifecycle;
declare var afterAll: jest.Lifecycle;
declare var afterEach: jest.Lifecycle;
declare var describe: jest.Describe;
declare var fdescribe: jest.Describe;
declare var xdescribe: jest.Describe;
declare var it: jest.It;
declare var fit: jest.It;
declare var xit: jest.It;
declare var test: jest.It;
declare var xtest: jest.It;
