+
+The `process-exit-code-test-cases` module provides a set of shared test cases

+between `test/parallel/test-process-exit-code.js` and
+`test/parallel/test-worker-exit-code.js`.

+### `getTestCases(isWorker)`
+
+* `isWorker` [\<boolean>][<boolean>]
+* return [\<Array>][<Array>]
+
+Returns an array of test cases for testing the exit codes of the `process`. Each
+test case is an object with a `func` property that is a function that runs the
+test case, a `result` property that is the expected exit code, and sometimes an
+`error` property that is a regular expression that the error message should
+match when the test case is run in a worker thread.
+
+The `isWorker` parameter is used to adjust the test cases for worker threads.
+The default value is `false`.
