 This module is a memory based consumer for metrics streams to be used in tests. The purpose of the module is to make writing tests and asserting metrics easier.
-It takes a metric stream generated by @metrics/client and makes the collected metrics available as an array.

 ⚠️ You should _never_ use this in produciton code, however it is very convenient when writing tests which produce metrics using [`@metrics/client`](https://metrics-js.github.io/reference/client/)

-test('some test case', async () => {

-    testHelper.start();
-
-    // Code which triggers a count metric
