The above uses `babel-test-config.json` as the transpilition config for *sources*, and as the base config for *tests*. For *tests*, it extends that base config with the custom plugins and presets specified.

## Notes

AVA *always* adds a few custom Babel plugins when transpiling your plugins. They serve a variety of functions:

* Enable `power-assert` support.
* Rewrite require paths internal AVA dependencies like `babel-runtime` (important if you are still using `npm@2`).
* [`ava-throws-helper`](https://github.com/avajs/babel-plugin-ava-throws-helper) helps AVA [detect and report](https://github.com/avajs/ava/pull/742) improper use of the `t.throws` assertion.
* Generate test metadata to determine which files should be run first (*future*).
* Static analysis of dependencies for precompilation (*future*).
