Hi Isuru, +1 for improving the Integration Test Framework with utility methods.
Currently we directly invoke the deploy.sh script and it internally deploy cartridges, cartridge groups, policies, etc. How are we planning to do this with the new approach? It would be better if you could send the refactored code.
