+## Object printing depth
+
+By default, AVA prints nested objects to a depth of `3`. However, when debugging tests with deeply nested objects, it can be useful to print with more detail. This can be done by setting [`util.inspect.defaultOptions.depth`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_defaultoptions) to the desired depth, before the test is executed:
+
+```js
+import util from 'util';
+
+import test from 'ava';
+
+util.inspect.defaultOptions.depth = 5;  // Increase AVA's printing depth
+
+test('My test', t => {
+	t.deepEqual(someDeeplyNestedObject, theExpectedValue);
+});
+```
+
+AVA has a minimum depth of `3`.
