In the ๐’‚๐’“๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’† section you bring the SUT and its dependencies to a desired state.

In the ๐’‚๐’„๐’• section, you call the methods on SUT, pass the prepared dependencies, and capture the output value ( if any )

In the ๐’‚๐’”๐’”๐’†๐’“๐’• section, you verify the outcome.

๐†๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ง corresponds to arrange

๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง corresponds to act

๐“๐ก๐ž๐ง corresponds to assert
