 argument.

+[`assert.partialDeepStrictEqual()`][] Assesses the equivalence between the `actual` and `expected` parameters through a
+deep comparison, ensuring that all properties in the `expected` parameter are
+present in the `actual` parameter with equivalent values, not allowing type coercion.
+The main difference with [`assert.deepStrictEqual()`][] is that [`assert.partialDeepStrictEqual()`][] does not require
+all properties in the `actual` parameter to be present in the `expected` parameter.
