I am writing an application that uses 3rd party libraries to instantiate and make some operations on virtualmachines.

At first I was writing integration tests to every functionality of the application. But them I found that these tests were not really helping since my environment had to be at a determined state, which turned the tests more and more difficult to write. And I decided to make only the unit and acceptance tests.

So, my question … is/can there be method or a clue to notice when the integration tests are not to be used?? (or I am wrong and on all cases they should be written)

    When you don’t plan on actually hooking your application up to anything “real”; no real containers, databases, resources or actual services. That’s what an integration test is supposed to verify; that everything works properly together.
