programmatically call AVA tests

[ORESoftware]

In the case that a developer wants to pass data to a test file programmatically (not at the command line)

with Mocha, seemingly the only way to do this would be:

function wrapTheMochaSuiteWithThisFn(data){


  describe('root suite', function(){

      describe('child suite', function(){

       data.forEach( item => {
             it('stubbed test case');
        });

     });

  });

}

if(require.main === module){
   wrapTheMochaSuiteWithThisFn([]);  // if test file is executing directly, run it
}

module.exports = wrapTheMochaSuiteWithThisFn;

will we have to do the same thing with AVA if we want to pass data / inject data into tests?

See: #695

Currently you have to do it the same way you do it in mocha. We are discussing an alternate solution in #695
