Description

A NoOpTaskScheduler has been added to Spring Framework. We should look at how we can use it to disable scheduled tasks in integration tests (and perhaps at runtime as well) probably via some opt-in mechanism.

Research direction

Start by reading the NoOpTaskScheduler addition in Spring Framework and inspect the integration tests that currently create scheduled tasks. Determine how an opt-in mechanism should disable scheduling in tests, and whether runtime use is in scope. Done means the intended behavior and configuration are defined and covered by integration tests.
