Test runner

Ready to run.

Testing in
TestOps/sec
Y method is declared into the Javscript object class
y = new Y();
y.message('hi');
y.addition(i, 2);
ready
X method is declared outside class by using protoype keyword
x = new X();
x.message('hi');
x.addition(i, 2);
ready
Z method is declared via variables
z = new Z();
z.message('hi');
z.addition(i, 2);
ready
Global call
w = new W();
W_message(w, 'hi');
W_addition(w, i, 2);
ready
call via Global variable
v = new V();
g_message(v, 'hi');
g_addition(v, i, 2);
ready
