    # can be made about its contents. The test queue provides a +jobs+
    # method to make assertions about the queue's contents and a +drain+
    # method to drain the queue and run the jobs.
    #
    # Jobs are run in a separate thread to catch mistakes where code
    # assumes that the job is run in the same thread.

    # development mode or in a VM where running jobs on a thread in
    # production mode makes sense.

    # queue and joins the thread, which will ensure that all jobs
    # are executed before the process finally dies.
