WebAPI JUnit tests need documentation and update

I've spent some time trying to get the IT (integration tests) in WebAPI to run and I'm not sure if it's an issue with the updates to the spring boot library, but the tests are not completely functional, from what I can tell.

By default we have the pom.xml specify to skip tests:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.18.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <skipTests>true</skipTests>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

So we haven't been running tests in a while.

I think we need to revisit the way tests are being coded, or maybe all that's required is documentation, but it's not clear about how tests should be executed and implemented.
