# TestScopeProvider

The type of the test scope provider for this trait.

## Declaration

```swift
associatedtype TestScopeProvider : TestScoping = Never
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default type is Never, which can’t be instantiated. The scopeProvider(for:testCase:) method for any trait with Never as its test scope provider type must return nil, meaning that the trait doesn’t provide a custom scope for tests it’s applied to.
