## Benchmark Module

The `benchmark` module is used by tests to run benchmarks.

### `runBenchmark(name, args, env)`

* `name` [<string>][] Name of benchmark suite to be run.
* `args` [<Array>][] Array of environment variable key/value pairs (ex:
  `n=1`) to be applied via `--set`.
* `env` [<Object>][] Environment variables to be applied during the run.

## Common Module API

The `common` module is used by tests for consistency across repeated
tasks.

### `allowGlobals(...allowlist)`

* `allowlist` [<Array>][] Array of Globals
* return [<Array>][]

Takes `allowlist` and concats that with predefined `knownGlobals`.

### `canCreateSymLink()`

* return [<boolean>][]

Checks whether the current running process can create symlinks. On Windows, this
returns `false` if the process running doesn't have privileges to create
symlinks
([SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb530716(v=vs.85).aspx)).
On non-Windows platforms, this always returns `true`.

### `createZeroFilledFile(filename)`

Creates a 10 MB file of all null characters.

### `enoughTestCpu`

  `assert.throws(fn, validator)`.
* `exact` [<number>][] default = 1
* return [<Function>][] A callback function that expects an error.

A function suitable as callback to validate callback based errors. The error is
validated using `assert.throws(() => { throw error; }, validator)`. If the
returned function has not been called exactly `exact` number of times when the
test is complete, then the test will fail.

### `expectWarning(name[, expected[, code]])`

* `name` [<string>][] | [<Object>][]
* `expected` [<string>][] | [<Array>][] | [<Object>][]
* `code` [<string>][]

## Duplex pair helper

The `common/duplexpair` module exports a single function `makeDuplexPair`,
which returns an object `{ clientSide, serverSide }` where each side is a
`Duplex` stream connected to the other side.

There is no difference between client or server side beyond their names.

## Environment variables

The behavior of the Node.js test suite can be altered using the following
environment variables.

## Heap dump checker module

This provides utilities for checking the validity of heap dumps.
This requires the usage of `--expose-internals`.

### `heap.recordState()`

Create a heap dump and an embedder graph copy for inspection.
The returned object has a `validateSnapshotNodes` function similar to the
one listed below. (`heap.validateSnapshotNodes(...)` is a shortcut for
`heap.recordState().validateSnapshotNodes(...)`.)

### `heap.validateSnapshotNodes(name, expected, options)`

* `name` [&lt;string>][] Look for this string as the name of heap dump nodes.
* `expected` [&lt;Array>][] A list of objects, possibly with an `children`
  property that points to expected other adjacent nodes.
* `options` [&lt;Array>][]
  * `loose` [&lt;boolean>][] Do not expect an exact listing of occurrences
    of nodes with name `name` in `expected`.

Create a heap dump and an embedder graph copy and validate occurrences.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
validateSnapshotNodes('TLSWRAP', [
  {
    children: [
      { name: 'enc_out' },
      { name: 'enc_in' },
      { name: 'TLSWrap' },
    ]
  },
]);
```

## hijackstdio Module

The `hijackstdio` module provides utility functions for temporarily redirecting
`stdout` and `stderr` output.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
const { hijackStdout, restoreStdout } = require('../common/hijackstdio');

hijackStdout((data) => {
  /* Do something with data */
  restoreStdout();
});

console.log('this is sent to the hijacked listener');
```

### `hijackStderr(listener)`

* `listener` [&lt;Function>][]: a listener with a single parameter
  called `data`.

Eavesdrop to `process.stderr.write()` calls. Once `process.stderr.write()` is
called, `listener` will also be called and the `data` of `write` function will
be passed to `listener`. What's more, `process.stderr.writeTimes` is a count of
the number of calls.

### `hijackStdout(listener)`

* `listener` [&lt;Function>][]: a listener with a single parameter
  called `data`.

Eavesdrop to `process.stdout.write()` calls. Once `process.stdout.write()` is
called, `listener` will also be called and the `data` of `write` function will
be passed to `listener`. What's more, `process.stdout.writeTimes` is a count of
the number of calls.

### restoreStderr()

Restore the original `process.stderr.write()`. Used to restore `stderr` to its
original state after calling [`hijackstdio.hijackStdErr()`][].

### restoreStdout()

original state after calling [`hijackstdio.hijackStdOut()`][].

## HTTP/2 Module

The http2.js module provides a handful of utilities for creating mock HTTP/2
frames for testing of HTTP/2 endpoints

<!-- eslint-disable no-unused-vars, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
const http2 = require('../common/http2');
```

### Class: Frame

The `http2.Frame` is a base class that creates a `Buffer` containing a
serialized HTTP/2 frame header.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
// length is a 24-bit unsigned integer
// type is an 8-bit unsigned integer identifying the frame type
// flags is an 8-bit unsigned integer containing the flag bits
// id is the 32-bit stream identifier, if any.
const frame = new http2.Frame(length, type, flags, id);

// Write the frame data to a socket
socket.write(frame.data);
```

The serialized `Buffer` may be retrieved using the `frame.data` property.

### Class: DataFrame extends Frame

The `http2.DataFrame` is a subclass of `http2.Frame` that serializes a `DATA`
frame.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
// id is the 32-bit stream identifier
// payload is a Buffer containing the DATA payload
// padlen is an 8-bit integer giving the number of padding bytes to include
// final is a boolean indicating whether the End-of-stream flag should be set,
// defaults to false.
const frame = new http2.DataFrame(id, payload, padlen, final);

socket.write(frame.data);
```

### Class: HeadersFrame

The `http2.HeadersFrame` is a subclass of `http2.Frame` that serializes a
`HEADERS` frame.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
// id is the 32-bit stream identifier
// payload is a Buffer containing the HEADERS payload (see either
// http2.kFakeRequestHeaders or http2.kFakeResponseHeaders).
// padlen is an 8-bit integer giving the number of padding bytes to include
// final is a boolean indicating whether the End-of-stream flag should be set,
// defaults to false.
const frame = new http2.HeadersFrame(id, payload, padlen, final);

socket.write(frame.data);
```

### Class: SettingsFrame

The `http2.SettingsFrame` is a subclass of `http2.Frame` that serializes an
empty `SETTINGS` frame.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
// ack is a boolean indicating whether or not to set the ACK flag.
const frame = new http2.SettingsFrame(ack);

socket.write(frame.data);
```

### `http2.kFakeRequestHeaders`

Set to a `Buffer` instance that contains a minimal set of serialized HTTP/2
request headers to be used as the payload of a `http2.HeadersFrame`.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
const frame = new http2.HeadersFrame(1, http2.kFakeRequestHeaders, 0, true);

socket.write(frame.data);
```

### `http2.kFakeResponseHeaders`

Set to a `Buffer` instance that contains a minimal set of serialized HTTP/2
response headers to be used as the payload a `http2.HeadersFrame`.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
const frame = new http2.HeadersFrame(1, http2.kFakeResponseHeaders, 0, true);

socket.write(frame.data);
```

### `http2.kClientMagic`

Set to a `Buffer` containing the preamble bytes an HTTP/2 client must send
upon initial establishment of a connection.

<!-- eslint-disable no-undef, node-core/require-common-first, node-core/required-modules -->
```js
socket.write(http2.kClientMagic);
```

## Internet Module

The `common/internet` module provides utilities for working with
internet-related tests.

### `internet.addresses`

* [&lt;Object>][]
  * `INET_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A generic host that has registered common
    DNS records, supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and provides basic HTTP/HTTPS
    services
  * `INET4_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host that provides IPv4 services
  * `INET6_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host that provides IPv6 services
  * `INET4_IP` [&lt;string>][] An accessible IPv4 IP, defaults to the
    Google Public DNS IPv4 address
  * `INET6_IP` [&lt;string>][] An accessible IPv6 IP, defaults to the
    Google Public DNS IPv6 address
  * `INVALID_HOST` [&lt;string>][] An invalid host that cannot be resolved
  * `MX_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with MX records registered
  * `SRV_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with SRV records registered
  * `PTR_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with PTR records registered
  * `NAPTR_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with NAPTR records registered
  * `SOA_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with SOA records registered
  * `CNAME_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with CNAME records registered
  * `NS_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with NS records registered
  * `TXT_HOST` [&lt;string>][] A host with TXT records registered
  * `DNS4_SERVER` [&lt;string>][] An accessible IPv4 DNS server
  * `DNS6_SERVER` [&lt;string>][] An accessible IPv6 DNS server

A set of addresses for internet-related tests. All properties are configurable
via `NODE_TEST_*` environment variables. For example, to configure
`internet.addresses.INET_HOST`, set the environment
variable `NODE_TEST_INET_HOST` to a specified host.

## ongc Module

The `ongc` module allows a garbage collection listener to be installed. The
module exports a single `onGC()` function.

```js
require('../common');
const onGC = require('../common/ongc');

onGC({}, { ongc() { console.log('collected'); } });
```

### `onGC(target, listener)`

* `target` [&lt;Object>][]
* `listener` [&lt;Object>][]
  * `ongc` [&lt;Function>][]

Installs a GC listener for the collection of `target`.

This uses `async_hooks` for GC tracking. This means that it enables
`async_hooks` tracking, which may affect the test functionality. It also
means that between a `global.gc()` call and the listener being invoked
a full `setImmediate()` invocation passes.

`listener` is an object to make it easier to use a closure; the target object
should not be in scope when `listener.ongc()` is created.

## Report Module

The `report` module provides helper functions for testing diagnostic reporting
functionality.

### `findReports(pid, dir)`

* `pid` [&lt;number>][] Process ID to retrieve diagnostic report files for.
* `dir` [&lt;string>][] Directory to search for diagnostic report files.
* return [&lt;Array>][]

Returns an array of diagnotic report file names found in `dir`. The files should
have been generated by a process whose PID matches `pid`.

### `validate(filepath)`

* `filepath` [&lt;string>][] Diagnostic report filepath to validate.

Validates the schema of a diagnostic report file whose path is specified in
`filepath`. If the report fails validation, an exception is thrown.

### `validateContent(report)`

* `report` [&lt;Object>][] | [&lt;string>][] JSON contents of a diagnostic
  report file, the parsed Object thereof, or the result of
  `process.report.getReport()`.

Validates the schema of a diagnostic report whose content is specified in
`report`. If the report fails validation, an exception is thrown.

## tick Module

The `tick` module provides a helper function that can be used to call a callback
after a given number of event loop "ticks".

### `tick(x, cb)`

* `x` [&lt;number>][] Number of event loop "ticks".
* `cb` [&lt;Function>][] A callback function.

## tmpdir Module

The `tmpdir` module supports the use of a temporary directory for testing.

### `path`

* [&lt;string>][]

The realpath of the testing temporary directory.

### `refresh()`

Deletes and recreates the testing temporary directory.

The first time `refresh()` runs, it adds a listener to process `'exit'` that
cleans the temporary directory. Thus, every file under `tmpdir.path` needs to
be closed before the test completes. A good way to do this is to add a
listener to process `'beforeExit'`. If a file needs to be left open until
Node.js completes, use a child process and call `refresh()` only in the
parent.

It is usually only necessary to call `refresh()` once in a test file.
Avoid calling it more than once in an asynchronous context as one call
might refresh the temporary directory of a different context, causing
the test to fail somewhat mysteriously.

## UDP pair helper

The `common/udppair` module exports a function `makeUDPPair` and a class
`FakeUDPWrap`.

`FakeUDPWrap` emits `'send'` events when data is to be sent on it, and provides
an `emitReceived()` API for actin as if data has been received on it.

`makeUDPPair` returns an object `{ clientSide, serverSide }` where each side
is an `FakeUDPWrap` connected to the other side.

There is no difference between cient or server side beyond their names.

## WPT Module

### `harness`

A legacy port of [Web Platform Tests][] harness.

See the source code for definitions. Please avoid using it in new
