What is the purpose of the pound (#) symbol in front of method names in unit tests?
<p>I see many test descriptions such as in Mocha using the # symbol in front of methods. What is the purpose and origin of this? I've been doing it for years like a lemming so I figured it was time to ask why :)</p>

<pre><code>describe('#myMethod()', function() { ... })
</code></pre>
