Where are your integration tests stored and how are they organized?

Integration tests are usually stored in a separate directory within the repository, such as tests/integration or src/test/integration. This helps to separate them from unit tests and makes management easier.

The organization of tests is built around key interaction scenarios between system components. Each test covers a specific integration case, such as interaction with a database, external APIs, or between microservices.

For convenience and scalability, the following are used:

• Use of fixtures for preparing and cleaning up the test environment.
• Mocking external services when isolating the tested components is necessary.
• Parameterization of tests to check different data options.

Example structure:

tests/
  integration/
    test_user_service.py
    test_payment_gateway.py
