Test Runners may have pre-made[Atom snippets](https://atom.io/docs/latest/using-atom-snippets) to quickly generate test files. See[*mocha-coderoad* snippets](https://github.com/coderoad/mocha-coderoad/blob/master/snippets.cson) as an example.

Open up*Atom* ->*Open Your Snippets*. Add the contents of`snippets.cson` to your global`snippets.cson` file. Read the project README to see which snippets are available and which prefixes you should use. For example: 'mochacr-f' for testing a "mocha-coderoad" function.

It's entirely possible to create a simplified testing tool that could make writing tests faster & easier.

The easiest solution would be to use editor snippets to generate a page of tests from a simple configuration object. This does not yet exist.

A CodeRoad test runner works by creating a child process and calling a test framework with target files, then returning the result as a JSON object.

A callback function that should return the output**log** statement.
