AVA comes with built-in support for async functions (async/await). This allows you to write shorter and clearer tests.

Declaring an async test without using the `await` keyword means that either a Promise is not awaited on as intended, or that the function could have been declared as a regular function, which is confusing and slower.

This rule will report an error when it finds an async test which does not use the `await` keyword.

## Examples

```js
import test from 'ava';

// ❌
test('foo', async t => {
	return foo().then(res => {
		t.is(res, 1);
	});
});

// ✅
test('foo', async t => {
	t.is(await foo(), 1);
});
```
