Mocha Test Helper Suite

node-test-helper is a legacy testing utility suite designed to simplify Mocha test setup by providing globally available assertions, mocking utilities, and test structure variables. Currently at version 1.0.0, the package's development appears to be abandoned, with no significant code updates in the past few years, despite a recent npm publish. Its approach relies heavily on CommonJS `require()` to inject global variables and functions (like `describe`, `it`, `expect`, `stub`, `TEST_NAME`) into the test environment, diverging significantly from modern modular JavaScript testing practices. It also presumes a `make`-based workflow for test execution rather than `npm scripts`, limiting its direct applicability in contemporary Node.js projects. Key differentiators (at the time of its creation) included simplifying boilerplate by abstracting away direct `require` calls for Mocha, Chai, and Sinon in individual test files, and offering an `init` command to scaffold a basic test directory structure and Makefile.
