description	Write or update tape-six tests for a module or feature. Use when asked to write tests, add test coverage, or create test files.

Write Tests

Write or update tests using the tape-six testing library.

Notes

• tape-six supports ES modules (.js, .mjs).
• The default tape6 runner uses worker threads for parallel execution.
• No TypeScript — all test files are plain .js.

Steps

1. Identify the module or feature to test. Read its source code to understand the API.
2. Create or update the test file in tests/test-<name>.js:
   • Import test from tape-six (ESM: import test from 'tape-six').
   • Import the module under test using its nano-benchmark/ package path.
   • Write one top-level test() per logical group.
   • Use embedded t.test() for sub-cases.
   • Cover: normal operation, edge cases, error conditions.
   • Use t.equal for primitives, t.deepEqual for objects/arrays, t.ok for boolean checks, t.throws for errors. // turbo
3. Run the new test file directly to verify: node tests/test-<name>.js // turbo
4. Run the full test suite to check for regressions: npm test
5. Report results and any failures.
