-# The baseline for module testing used by Puppet Labs is that each manifest
-# should have a corresponding test manifest that declares that class or defined
-# type.
-#
-# Tests are then run by using puppet apply --noop (to check for compilation errors
-# and view a log of events) or by fully applying the test in a virtual environment
-# (to compare the resulting system state to the desired state).
