Class: Runner

Runner

Defines common methods and properties of Jasmine and ParallelRunner.
Note: This should be considered an interface. It's only documented as a class due to jsdoc limitations. You can safely assume that these members are available on both runner classes, but the inheritance structure itself is an implementation detail that may change at any time.
