Integration Testing Guide
This version is marked prerelease. Validate its API and upgrade path before production use.No SPDX license expression is published. Review the license text and your organisation's policy before redistribution.Compatibility metadata lists 4 target frameworks; confirm the exact target used by your application.The published metadata declares 28 direct dependency entries across framework groups.

Editorial Note: Provision disposable Docker-based dependencies (databases, brokers, caches) directly from tests. Trade-off: Container startup overhead and host prerequisites require thoughtful fixture reuse and pipeline tuning.
