Description

We have coverage in our unit tests, but feel like the functional/integration side of testing is lacking.

We have some level of integration tests in our examples for our integrations and the main agent, but running those tests has been a manual process. Devise a good way to automate this process, and perhaps write other examples or integration tests that more closely resemble real-world use of the Go Agent.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing integration tests in the examples and the main agent, focusing on how they are currently run manually. Define an automated way to run those tests and identify additional examples or integration coverage that better reflects real-world Go Agent use. Done means the integration process is repeatable and the agreed coverage runs automatically.
