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 report that it fired', function() {
        spyOn(app, 'report');
        app.deviceready();
        expect(app.report).toHaveBeenCalledWith('deviceready');
    });
});

What I don’t understand is:
What exactly does the describe keyword do?

info:
– Its a phonegap application
– We are using the spine.js and jQuery libraries

    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.
