Interface TestExecutor

All Known Implementing Classes:

JvmTestExecutor, NativeTestExecutor

interface TestExecutor

Abstraction for executing compiled EK9 test programs.

Implementations handle different target architectures:

• JvmTestExecutor - executes JVM bytecode in-process
• NativeTestExecutor - spawns native binaries as subprocesses

This abstraction enables the same test runner to work with both JVM and LLVM backends without modification.
