Yes test only, sometimes you do not have a java test framework to spin up an instance of the target service you want to integrate so having some support in camel to spin up a containerized service may be useful. I used testcontainers to test etcd and consul and by spinning up a container for the mentioned service is much easier that try to mock every possible api.
