Test Case Message Format

This is advices for creating test message

Try to use Given-When-Then format to express requirement in test message. For examples:

If there is a condition before

test('User can selects Post if facility has been selected');

• Given: facility has been selected ← condition
• When: none
• Then: user can selects Post

If there is an action before

test('System perfoms a search after user clicks on Proceed');

• Given: none
• When: user clicks on Proceed ← action
• Then: System performs a search

If both action and condition

test('
  User can see required error message of Facility
  after click Save if Facility not filled
');

• Given: if Facility not filled
• When: after click Save
• Then: User can see required error message of Facility

Just plain requirement

test('User can see available Post to choose in Post Dropdown');

• Given: none
• When: none
• Then: User can see available Post to choose in Post Dropdown

Please note, the order of Given-When-Then is not significant. What we need is readability.
