Your test automation code is an important tool to evaluate your application. You must ensure your test code is working/testing as you want it to be. the automated tests give confidence for the developer that the application behaves as expected and things are not broken after they change the code.
Recently, at our QA phase, the QA found a bug that should have been caught from our test automation. Therefore being suspicious I looked into the code. Interesting enough, the way we used loops along with test blocks were not testing as we wanted. Below is an example of a test block with the bad approach we had. Then I listed down a working approach using loops.
The following is the console output. Notice that the value inside the test block is always the same value.
Here a solution is to use a function
Now the output looks as follows.
