# Disallow use of disabled tests (no-disabled-tests) Jasmine uses `xdescribe` and `xit` to disable a suite/spec. Whilst handy to toggle a broken suite/spec during development, disabled tests are often an indicator of a deeper problem. ## Rule details This rule triggers a **warning** (is set to **1** by default) whenever it encounters `xdescribe` and `xit`. The following patterns are considered warnings: ```js xdescribe('My disabled suite', function() {}); describe('My suite', function() { xit('My disabled spec', function() {}); }); ``` The following patterns are not warnings: ```js describe('My suite', function() {}); describe('My suite', function() { it('My spec', function() {}); }); ```
