This directory contains tests which are not automatically executed
for various reasons. Mainly due to dependencies on external services.
This directory contains integration tests which are not automatically executed
for various reasons:
- dependency on external services
- dependency on files / configuration / state of the local host
- tests that are extremely slow or require large amounts of memory or storage
- tests that spawn local daemons
Integration tests can become stale very quickly. Automated ./koch tests are
strongly recommended.
