Use the [`description` property](/reference/resource-properties/description) to document [singular data tests](/docs/build/data-tests#singular-data-tests). You can also use [docs block](/docs/build/documentation#using-docs-blocks) to capture your test description. The enhancement will be included in upcoming dbt Core 1.9 release. - **New**: Introducing the [microbatch incremental model strategy](/docs/build/incremental-microbatch) (beta), available in dbt Cloud Versionless and will soon be supported in dbt Core 1.9. The microbatch strategy allows for efficient, batch-based processing of large time-series datasets for improved performance and resiliency, especially when you're working with data that changes over time (like new records being added daily). To enable this feature in dbt Cloud, set the `DBT_EXPERIMENTAL_MICROBATCH` environment variable to `true` in your project.
