Trait IntegrationTestTrait
A trait intended to make integration tests of your controllers easier.
This test class provides a number of helper methods and features that make dispatching requests and checking their responses simpler. It favours full integration tests over mock objects as you can test more of your code easily and avoid some of the maintenance pitfalls that mock objects create.
