been doing this for years, I would not say this gets rid of testing though.
Running integration tests are significantly more complicated to write and take longer to run.
There is also race conditions present that you need to account for programmatically.. Such as waiting for a db to come up and schema to be applied. Or waiting for a specific event to occur in the daemon.
That being said, this looks like a decent start. One thing that seems to be missing is the ability to tail logs and assert specific marks in the logs. Often you need to do an operation and wait until you see an event.
