## What is a test?
A test is a method that we can use to check that something meets certain criteria. It is typically defined as a procedure which contains the steps required to put the system under test in a certain state before executing the action to be checked. Therefore, a test consists of the following stages:
- **Preconditions:** All the steps that need to be performed to put the system in the desired state before executing the action we want to check. A test could have many preconditions.
- **Action:** This is the exact step that causes the change we want to check in the system. It should be only one because each test should ideally cover one thing at a time.
