Your are correct. We came across the same issue when designing the
framework. Since system tests runs with different configurations (e.g with
registry mounts and different DBs) we need to run all most all
product integration tests on top of product platform as well. We can not
directly have dependencies to product integration tests because of the way
we have written those tests. And, The tests architecture is also differ. We
have written the system-test-framework to address the distributed nature of
a platform deployment. Currently as what we can do is to duplicate
integration tests inside system tests. May be in future we can find a
better way to do it.

Thanks,
Krishantha.
