For example, a test that opens a new tab will also close the tab -- with the assumption that any resources consumed can potentially be released. For tests that use entities it is possible to influence an accumulation of resources within the snippet. Using the open new tabs example, specifying an entities value of 10 would open ten tabs and then close them all within an iteration. | ||
