## Test Directories
### abort
Tests for when the `--abort-on-uncaught-exception` flag is used.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### addons
Tests for [addon](https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html) functionality along with
some tests that require an addon to function properly.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
### cctest
C++ test that is run as part of the build process.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
### debugger
Tests for [debugger](https://nodejs.org/api/debugger.html) functionality.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### disabled
Tests that have been disabled from running for various reasons.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### fixtures
Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
### gc

# Node.js Core Tests
### inspector
This folder contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.
Tests for the V8 inspector integration.
For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this
directory, see [the guide on writing tests](../doc/guides/writing-tests.md).
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
On how to run tests in this direcotry, see
[the contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md#step-5-test).
### internet
## Table of Contents
Tests that make real outbound connections (mainly networking related modules).
Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories,
but those tests do not make outbound connections.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### known_issues
Tests reproducing known issues within the system.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### message
Tests for messages that are output for various conditions (`console.log`,
error messages etc.)
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
### parallel
Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
### pummel
Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### sequential
Various tests that are run sequentially.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| Yes |
### testpy
Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
### tick-processor
Tests for the V8 tick processor integration. The tests are for the logic in
`lib/internal/v8_prof_processor.js` and `lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js`. The
tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts
from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic.
| Runs on CI |
|:----------:|
| No |
### timers
Tests for [timing utilities](https://nodejs.org/api/timers.html) (`setTimeout`
and `setInterval`).
