+QUnit only runs tests of which the module name or test name are a case-insensitive substring match for the filter string. You can invert the filter by prefixing an exclamation mark (`!`) to the string, in which case we skip the matched tests, and run the tests that don't match the filter.
 
-You can also match via a regular expression by setting the filter to a regular expression literal in string form, encloses by slashes, such as `/(this|that)/`.
