One common way to set up nested tests using Mocha is by using the describe() function to group related tests together. Nested describe() functions can be used to further organize tests into subgroups.


Here is an example of setting up nested tests using Mocha:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
describe('Outer test suite', function() {
    // Outer test cases go here

    describe('Inner test suite 1', function() {
        // Nested test cases go here
    });

    describe('Inner test suite 2', function() {
        // More nested test cases go here
    });
});


In this example, describe() is used to create the outer test suite with two nested test suites (Inner test suite 1 and Inner test suite 2). Each describe() block can contain a set of test cases to be executed within that specific context.


By organizing tests in a nested structure like this, it helps to keep the test suite organized, readable, and maintainable. It also allows for easier grouping of related tests and can help identify any failures or issues more quickly.
