+    # 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.
+    class TestQueue < ::Queue
