+- **Alias:** `suite.for`
+
+The difference from `describe.each` is how array case is provided in the arguments.
+Other non array case (including template string usage) works exactly same.
+
+```ts
+// `each` spreads array case
+describe.each([
+  [1, 1, 2],
+  [1, 2, 3],
+  [2, 1, 3],
+])('add(%i, %i) -> %i', (a, b, expected) => { // [!code --]
+  test('test', () => {
+    expect(a + b).toBe(expected)
+  })
+})
+
+// `for` doesn't spread array case
+describe.for([
+  [1, 1, 2],
+  [1, 2, 3],
+  [2, 1, 3],
+])('add(%i, %i) -> %i', ([a, b, expected]) => { // [!code ++]
+  test('test', () => {
+    expect(a + b).toBe(expected)
+  })
+})

 ## Setup and Teardown
 
 These functions allow you to hook into the life cycle of tests to avoid repeating setup and teardown code. They apply to the current context: the file if they are used at the top-level or the current suite if they are inside a `describe` block. These hooks are not called, when you are running Vitest as a type checker.
