    The describe-it style is mainly used to write Spek tests. describe structure allows us to create a group of tests describing a specific method, and, in it, a specific scenario for the method is written. But it is also possible to use the GivenWhenThen style. Unfortunately, the framework doesn’t have embedded coroutine support, so we have to always use runBlockingTest { } for suspended functions. There is a ticket with this feature request on Github, but it seems it was never completed.
