This feature allows you to group related test methods inside an inner class, helping you structure your test suite to perfectly mirror your component's functionality (like our User class example!). 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨: ✅𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬: Use the @Nested annotation to create clear, hierarchical test groups (e.g., WhenNew vs. WhenLoggedIn). ✅ 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭: See how to leverage the default per-method lifecycle to ensure complete test isolation, preventing data leaks between scenarios. ✅ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬: Understand the execution order of @BeforeEach and @AfterEach in both the outer and inner classes to manage setup/teardown seamlessly. (Crucial Tip: Why @BeforeAll and @AfterAll cannot be used in inner classes by default!) ✅ 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Use assertThrows to test for expected exceptions, ensuring your logic handles edge cases correctly.
