## Frontend Integration Specs

This directory contains Frontend integration specs. Go to `spec/frontend` if you're looking for Frontend unit tests.

Frontend integration specs:

- Mock out the Backend.
- Don't test individual components, but instead test use cases.
- Are expected to run slower than unit tests.
- Could end up having their own environment.

As a result, they deserve their own special place.
