A thing I wanted to add here some time ago, but apparently forgot to send off:

To be honest, after reading [ERROR: invalid-extension: Official Ansible modules must have - #4 by sivel](http://forum.ansible.com/t/5719/4), I wouldn’t recommend ansible-test for integration tests anymore.

(I’m not not recommending it, either, though. Also, a related thread: [Ansible Collection Testing Strategies](http://forum.ansible.com/t/6323))
