## Test isolation

By default each test file is run in a new worker thread. You can fall back running in separate processes.
By default each test file is run in a new worker thread. You can fall back running in separate processes (see `workerThreads` [CLI option](./06-configuration.md#options)).

AVA will set `process.env.NODE_ENV` to `test`, unless the `NODE_ENV` environment variable has been set. This is useful if the code you're testing has test defaults (for example when picking what database to connect to). It may cause your code or its dependencies to behave differently though. Note that `'NODE_ENV' in process.env` will always be `true`.
