What is integration test?
Integration test: A test that checks several components working together, such as an API talking to a database and a model, rather than each alone. It finds interface and configuration mistakes that unit tests miss, but is slower and needs more setup.
Integration test: an example
A test starts the API with a real test database, posts a document and checks that the stored record and the returned prediction match.
