 - **Default**: `300`
 
 The number of milliseconds after which a test is considered slow and reported as such in the results.
+
+### chaiConfig
+
+- **Type:** `{ includeStack?, showDiff?, truncateThreshold? }`
+- **Default:** `{ includeStack: false, showDiff: true, truncateThreshold: 40 }`
+
+Equivalent to [Chai config](https://github.com/chaijs/chai/blob/4.x.x/lib/chai/config.js). 
+
+#### chaiConfig.includeStack
+
+- **Type:** `boolean`
+- **Default:** `false`
+
+Influences whether stack trace is included in Assertion error message. Default of false suppresses stack trace in the error message.
+
+#### chaiConfig.showDiff
+
+- **Type:** `boolean`
+- **Default:** `true`
+
+Influences whether or not the `showDiff` flag should be included in the thrown AssertionErrors. `false` will always be `false`; `true` will be true when the assertion has requested a diff to be shown.
+
+#### chaiConfig.truncateThreshold
+
+- **Type:** `number`
+- **Default:** `40`
+
+Sets length threshold for actual and expected values in assertion errors. If this threshold is exceeded, for example for large data structures, the value is replaced with something like `[ Array(3) ]` or `{ Object (prop1, prop2) }`. Set it to `0` if you want to disable truncating altogether.
+
+This config option affects truncating values in `test.each` titles and inside the assertion error message.
