Include JavaScript libraries as follows: <script src="//cdn.ext/library.js"></script>

Define setup for all tests (variables, functions, arrays or other objects that will be used in the tests) (runs before each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (e.g. define local test variables, reset global variables, clear canvas, etc.) (see FAQ)

Define teardown for all tests (runs after each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (see FAQ)

Code snippets to compare

Test 1
