The 'describe' keyword in javascript

Question

So I am a newbie in javascript and i had been going through some one else\'s code and I found this..

describe(\'deviceready\', function() {
    it(\'should rep         


        

Answer 1

Describe is not part of Javascript, it is a function defined in the library you used (namely Jasmine)

Answer 2

Describe is a function in the Jasmine testing framework. It simply describes the suite of test cases enumerated by the "it" functions.

Also used in the mochajs framework.

Answer 3

"A test suite begins with a call to the global Jasmine function describe with two parameters: a string and a function. The string is a name or title for a spec suite - usually what is being tested. The function is a block of code that implements the suite."
