`void`	`required_spec317_mustNotSignalOnErrorWhenPendingAboveLongMaxValue()`	Asks for a very long `Publisher` (up to `Integer.MAX_VALUE`), requests `Long.MAX_VALUE - 1` after each received item and expects no failure due to a potential overflow in the pending emission count while consuming 10 items and cancelling the sequence.
`void`	`required_spec317_mustSupportACumulativePendingElementCountUpToLongMaxValue()`	Asks for a short `Publisher` (length 3) and requests `Long.MAX_VALUE` from it in total (split across two `Long.MAX_VALUE / 2` and one `request(1)`), verifying that the `Publisher` emits all of its items and completes normally.
`void`	`required_spec317_mustSupportAPendingElementCountUpToLongMaxValue()`	Asks for a short `Publisher` (length 3) and requests `Long.MAX_VALUE` from it, verifying that the `Publisher` emits all of its items and completes normally and does not keep spinning attempting to fulfill the `Long.MAX_VALUE` demand by some means.
`void`	`required_validate_boundedDepthOfOnNextAndRequestRecursion()`	Validates that the override of `boundedDepthOfOnNextAndRequestRecursion()` returns a positive value.
`void`	`required_validate_maxElementsFromPublisher()`	Validates that the override of `maxElementsFromPublisher()` returns a non-negative value.
`void`	`setUp()`
`boolean`	`skipStochasticTests()`	Override and return `true` in order to skip executing tests marked as `Stochastic`.
`void`	`stochastic_spec103_mustSignalOnMethodsSequentially()`	Asks for a short `Publisher` (i.e., length 10), repeatedly subscribes to this `Publisher`, requests items one by one and verifies the `Publisher` calls the `onXXX` methods non-overlappingly.
`void`	`stochasticTest(int n, Function<java.lang.Integer,java.lang.Void> body)`	Executes a given test body `n` times.
`void`	`untested_spec106_mustConsiderSubscriptionCancelledAfterOnErrorOrOnCompleteHasBeenCalled()`	Currently, this test is skipped because it is unclear this rule can be effectively checked on a `Publisher` instance without looking into or hooking into the implementation of it.
`void`	`untested_spec107_mustNotEmitFurtherSignalsOnceOnErrorHasBeenSignalled()`	Currently, this test is skipped, although it is possible to validate an error `Publisher` along the same lines as `PublisherVerificationRules.required_spec107_mustNotEmitFurtherSignalsOnceOnCompleteHasBeenSignalled()`.
`void`	`untested_spec108_possiblyCanceledSubscriptionShouldNotReceiveOnErrorOrOnCompleteSignals()`	Currently, this test is skipped because there was no agreement on how to verify its "eventually" requirement.
`void`	`untested_spec109_subscribeShouldNotThrowNonFatalThrowable()`	Currently, this test is skipped because there is no common agreement on what is to be considered a fatal exception and besides, `Publisher.subscribe` is only allowed throw a `NullPointerException` and any other exception would require looking into or hooking into the implementation of the `Publisher`.
`void`	`untested_spec110_rejectASubscriptionRequestIfTheSameSubscriberSubscribesTwice()`	Currently, this test is skipped because enforcing rule §1.10 requires unlimited retention and reference-equal checks on all incoming `Subscriber` which is generally infeasible, plus reusing the same `Subscriber` instance is better detected (or ignored) inside `Subscriber.onSubscribe` when the method is called multiple times.
`void`	`untested_spec304_requestShouldNotPerformHeavyComputations()`	Currently, this test is skipped because a `request` could enter into a synchronous computation via `onNext` legally and otherwise there is no common agreement how to detect such heavy computation reliably.
`void`	`untested_spec305_cancelMustNotSynchronouslyPerformHeavyComputation()`	Currently, this test is skipped because there is no reliable agreed upon way to detect a heavy computation.
`void`	`whenHasErrorPublisherTest(PublisherVerification.PublisherTestRun<T> body)`	Additional test for Publisher in error state

public PublisherVerification(TestEnvironment env,
                             long publisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis)
```
    Constructs a new verification class using the given env and configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    publisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis - used to determine after how much time a reference to a Subscriber should be already dropped by the Publisher.
  - PublisherVerification
```
public PublisherVerification(TestEnvironment env)
```
    Constructs a new verification class using the given env and configuration. The value for publisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis will be obtained by using envPublisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis().
- Method Detail
  - envPublisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis
```
public static long envPublisherReferenceGCTimeoutMillis()
```
    Tries to parse the env variable PUBLISHER_REFERENCE_GC_TIMEOUT_MILLIS as long and returns the value if present, OR its default value (DEFAULT_PUBLISHER_REFERENCE_GC_TIMEOUT_MILLIS). This value is used to determine after how much time a reference to a Subscriber should be already dropped by the Publisher.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - when unable to parse the env variable
  - createPublisher
```
public abstract org.reactivestreams.Publisher<T> createPublisher(long elements)
```
    This is the main method you must implement in your test incarnation. It must create a Publisher for a stream with exactly the given number of elements. If `elements` is `Long.MAX_VALUE` the produced stream must be infinite.
  - createFailedPublisher
```
public abstract org.reactivestreams.Publisher<T> createFailedPublisher()
```
    By implementing this method, additional TCK tests concerning a "failed" publishers will be run. The expected behaviour of the Publisher returned by this method is hand out a subscription, followed by signalling onError on it, as specified by Rule 1.9. If you ignore these additional tests, return null from this method.
  - maxElementsFromPublisher
```
public long maxElementsFromPublisher()
```
    Override and return lower value if your Publisher is only able to produce a known number of elements. For example, if it is designed to return at-most-one element, return 1 from this method. Defaults to Long.MAX_VALUE - 1, meaning that the Publisher can be produce a huge but NOT an unbounded number of elements. To mark your Publisher will *never* signal an onComplete override this method and return Long.MAX_VALUE, which will result in *skipping all tests which require an onComplete to be triggered* (!).
  - skipStochasticTests
```
public boolean skipStochasticTests()
```
    Override and return true in order to skip executing tests marked as Stochastic. Stochastic in this case means that the Rule is impossible or infeasible to deterministically verify— usually this means that this test case can yield false positives ("be green") even if for some case, the given implementation may violate the tested behaviour.
  - boundedDepthOfOnNextAndRequestRecursion
```
public long boundedDepthOfOnNextAndRequestRecursion()
```
    In order to verify rule 3.3 of the reactive streams spec, this number will be used to check if a Subscription actually solves the "unbounded recursion" problem by not allowing the number of recursive calls to exceed the number returned by this method.

```
    Description copied from interface: PublisherVerificationRules
    Asks for a Publisher that should emit exactly one item and complete (both within a timeout specified by TestEnvironment.defaultTimeoutMillis()) in response to a request(1).
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() returns zero. If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:
    - the Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) method has actual implementation,
    - in the Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) method, if there is an upstream Publisher, that Publisher is actually subscribed to,
    - if the Publisher is part of a chain, all elements actually issue a request() call in response to the test subscriber or by default to their upstream,
    - in the Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) method, the Subscriber.onSubscribe is called as part of the preparation process (usually before subscribing to other Publishers),
    - if the Publisher implementation works for a consumer that calls request(1),
    - if the Publisher implementation is able to emit an onComplete without requests,
    - that the Publisher implementation does not emit more than the allowed elements (exactly one).

    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 3.
    The tests requests one-by-one and verifies each single response item arrives in time.
    If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:

```
    Description copied from interface: PublisherVerificationRules
    Asks for a Publisher that responds to a request pattern of 0 (not requesting upfront), 1, 1 and 2 in a timely manner.
    Verifies rule: 1.1
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 5.
    This test ensures that the Publisher implementation correctly responds to request() calls that in total are less than the number of elements this Publisher could emit (thus the completion event won't be emitted).
    If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:
    - the TestEnvironment has large enough timeout specified in case the Publisher has some time-delay behavior,
    - make sure the PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher1MustProduceAStreamOfExactly1Element() and PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher3MustProduceAStreamOfExactly3Elements() tests pass,
    - if the Publisher implementation considers the cumulative request amount it receives,
    - if the Publisher doesn't lose any request() signal and the state transition from idle -> emitting or emitting -> keep emitting works properly.

    Description copied from interface: PublisherVerificationRules
    Asks for a short Publisher and verifies that requesting once and with more than the length (but bounded) results in the correct number of items to be emitted (i.e., length 3 and request 10) followed by an onComplete signal.
    Verifies rule: 1.2
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 3.
    This test ensures that the Publisher implementation can deal with larger requests than the number of items it can produce.

    Asks for a short Publisher (i.e., length 10), repeatedly subscribes to this Publisher, requests items one by one and verifies the Publisher calls the onXXX methods non-overlappingly.
    Verifies rule: 1.3
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 10.
    Note that this test is probabilistic, that is, may not capture any concurrent invocation in a {code Publisher} implementation. Note also that this test is sensitive to cases when a request() call in onSubscribe() triggers an asynchronous call to the other onXXX methods. In contrast, the test allows synchronous call chain of onSubscribe -> request -> onNext.
    If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:
    - the TestEnvironment has large enough timeout specified in case the Publisher has some time-delay behavior,
    - make sure the PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher1MustProduceAStreamOfExactly1Element() and PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher3MustProduceAStreamOfExactly3Elements() tests pass,

```
    Description copied from interface: PublisherVerificationRules
    Asks for a short Publisher (length 10) and issues a request(0) which should trigger an onError call with an IllegalArgumentException.
    Verifies rule: 3.9
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 10.
    Note that this test expects the IllegalArgumentException being signalled through onError, not by throwing from request() (which is also forbidden) or signalling the error by any other means (i.e., through the Thread.currentThread().getUncaughtExceptionHandler() for example).
    Note also that requesting and emission may happen concurrently and honoring this rule may require extra coordination within the Publisher.
    If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:
    - the TestEnvironment has large enough timeout specified in case the Publisher has some time-delay behavior,
    - make sure the PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher1MustProduceAStreamOfExactly1Element() and PublisherVerificationRules.required_createPublisher3MustProduceAStreamOfExactly3Elements() tests pass,
    - the Publisher can emit an onError in this particular case, even if there was no prior and legal request call and even if the Publisher would like to emit items first before emitting an onError in general.

    Description copied from interface: PublisherVerificationRules
    Asks for a short Publisher (length 3) requests and consumes one element from it, cancels the Subscription , calls System.gc() and then checks if all references to the test Subscriber has been dropped (by checking the WeakReference has been emptied).
    Verifies rule: 3.13
    The test is not executed if maxElementsFromPublisher() is less than 3.
    If this test fails, the following could be checked within the Publisher implementation:

    - the cancellation indicator flag is properly persisted (may require volatile) and checked as part of the signal emission process.
    - the Publisher stores the Subscriber reference somewhere which is then not cleaned up when the Subscriber is cancelled. Note that this may happen on many code paths in a Publisher, for example in an emission loop that terminates because of the cancel signal or because reaching a terminal state. Note also that eagerly nulling Subscriber references may not be necessary for this test to pass in case there is a self-contained chain of them (i.e., Publisher.subscribe() creates a chain of fresh Subscriber instances where each of them only references their downstream Subscriber thus the chain can get GC'd when the reference to the final Subscriber is dropped).
