  "context": "This evaluation assesses how well an engineer uses karma-qunit's autostart control capabilities to implement a test runner controller. The focus is on proper usage of configuration options, timing control mechanisms, and manual start functionality that karma-qunit provides for managing test execution flow.",

    {
      "name": "Autostart Configuration",
      "description": "Implements an autostart configuration option (boolean parameter) that controls automatic vs manual test execution. When true, tests start automatically; when false, tests wait for manual start() call. This mirrors karma-qunit's client.qunit.autostart configuration behavior.",

      "name": "Timeout-Based Delay",
      "description": "Uses setTimeout() to implement a configurable delay (in milliseconds) before test execution begins. The delay should apply after initialization when autostart is true, reflecting karma-qunit's timeout-based start mechanism for async loading scenarios.",

    {
      "name": "Manual Start Method",
      "description": "Provides a start() method that manually triggers test execution when autostart is false. The method should initiate the test runner only when explicitly called, mirroring the QUnit.start() manual trigger pattern that karma-qunit supports.",

      "name": "Running State Query",
      "description": "Implements an isRunning() method that returns boolean true/false indicating whether tests have started. Prevents multiple starts and provides clear state visibility, similar to how karma-qunit tracks test execution state.",
