The test launches a child process with the only purpose of validating that the load of the main class (`emptynumbootstrapmethods1`/`emptynumbootstrapmethods2`) completes successfully and doesn’t throw `ClassFormatError`. The class doesn’t define a main method, so later during execution of `LauncherHelper.validateMainMethod` the child VM exits with the following error message which we check from the `OutputAnalyzer` output:
