The `testing.load()` function loads tests data from a stream of tables.
```js
import "testing"
testing.load()
```
## Parameters
### tables {data-type="stream of tables"}
Input data.
Default is piped-forward data ([`<-`](/flux/v0.x/spec/expressions/#pipe-expressions)).
## Examples
##### Load a raw stream of tables in a test case
The following test uses [`array.from()`](/flux/v0.x/stdlib/array/from/)
to create two streams of tables to compare in the test.
```js
import "testing"
import "array"
got = array.from(
rows: [
{_time: 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 1.2},
{_time: 2021-01-01T01:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 0.8},
{_time: 2021-01-01T02:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 3.2},
]
)
want = array.from(
rows: [
{_time: 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 1.2},
{_time: 2021-01-01T01:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 0.8},
{_time: 2021-01-01T02:00:00Z, _measurement: "m", _field: "t", _value: 3.1},
]
)
testing.diff(got: testing.load(tables: got), want: testing.load(tables: want))
```
