Doing unit testing for the first time at a large scale, I find myself writing a lot of repetitive unit tests for my business logic. Sure, to create complete test suites I need to test all possibilities but readability feels compromised doing what I do - as shown in the psuedocode below.

How would a well written, readable test suit look like?

describe "UserEntity" ->
  it "valid name validates"
    ...
  it "invalid name doesnt validate"
    ...

  it "valid list of followers validate"
    ..
