Hi Geoff,

I got a comment from Judy Tang here is the reply. Hope more people
participate in the discussion thread.

The idea is to have the description or example (or even more details if
like it) in description section. It is more of "what this feature/test
is about"? The strategy is more of "how do you test this?" . It is
better to have some steps or so in strategy and one or 2 sentences about
the test feature in description. I think better to separate, so that
the strategy can be hooked to the test itself otherwise big description
may not be as readable.

Thanks.
