### Step 5: Test

Bug fixes and features **should come with tests**. Add your tests in the
`test/parallel/` directory. For guidance on how to write a test for the Node.js
project, see this [guide](./doc/guides/writing_tests.md). Looking at other tests
to see how they should be structured can also help.

To run the tests on Unix / OS X:

```text
$ ./configure && make -j8 test
```

Windows:

```text
> vcbuild test
```

(See the [BUILDING.md](./BUILDING.md) for more details.)

Make sure the linter is happy and that all tests pass. Please, do not submit
patches that fail either check.

Running `make test` will run the linter as well unless one or more tests fail.
If you want to run the linter without running tests, use `make lint`.
Running `make test`/`vcbuild test` will run the linter as well unless one or
more tests fail.

If you want to run the linter without running tests, use
`make lint`/`vcbuild jslint`.

If you are updating tests and just want to run a single test to check it, you
can use this syntax to run it exactly as the test harness would:
