 We recommend using Chromium, because it is most likely to best match the experience of a majority of your users. However, you can use other browsers by adjusting the [browser name in the Vitest configuration file](https://vitest.dev/config/#browser-name). Note that [Playwright and WebDriverIO support different browsers](https://vitest.dev/guide/browser/#browser-option-types).
 
+### How do I customize a test name?
+
+By default, the export name of a story is mapped to the test name. To create a more descriptive test description, you can provide a `name` property for the story. This allows you to include spaces, brackets, or other special characters.
+
+```js
+export const Story = {
+  name: 'custom, descriptive name'
+};
+```
