An OTP release using mnesia sumo_db adapter must list mnesia as a dependency - either in one of the applications of the OTP release or in the rebar.config - because neither [sumo_rest](https://github.com/inaka/sumo_rest/blob/0.3.3/src/sumo_rest.app.src) (of course) nor [sumo_db](https://github.com/inaka/sumo_db/blob/0.7.1/src/sumo_db.app.src) depend on mnesia. It makes sense that sumo_db does not depend on mnesia, as its users do not necessarily use the included mnesia adapter. As the test application does not have its own rebar.config, list mnesia as dependency of the application sr_test so that novice sumo_db user is reminded to list it.

If the sr_test application were meant to have a structure approach for building it as an OTP release, its building and startup could be tested as part of CI. |

I understand the sr_test application does not have a structured way for building it as an OTP release e.g. its own rebar.config. I expect that if application sr_test were built as an OTP release without listing mnesia in rebar.config then the OTP release would fail to start for missing mnesia.
