Adoption guide

API and MVC apps that need realistic middleware, routing and dependency injection coverage without external process orchestration.

Integration Testing guide
Why it appears in the guide: Bootstraps ASP.NET Core applications in tests via TestServer/WebApplicationFactory for high-fidelity HTTP integration tests. Trade-off: External dependencies still need explicit test doubles or infrastructure provisioning to avoid false confidence.
