Integration Tests

#description

Integration tests in Rust are a way to test the interaction between multiple components/modules of your program as a whole. They are different from unit tests which test individual functions or units of code separately.

Integration tests are typically developed after the application has been developed or at least in the later stages of development. They are designed to test the interactions between different components of the application to ensure that they work together as expected.

In Rust, integration tests are included under the tests directory of a package. When the cargo test command is run, it searches for tests directory and runs each test file as a separate binary.

Integration tests are run against the compiled application binary rather than the code itself. This allows for a more realistic testing environment and helps ensure that any variables or configurations are properly set.

Overall, integration tests can be an important part of developing high-quality Rust applications, as they provide a way to test the interactions between different components of the application and help ensure that they work together as expected.
