Description

HelpCommandsIntegrationTest compares the help output for each command to golden files. Any change to command help requires another change to the golden file. This does not provide real value other than to tell you that you changed the help output which then slows you down because you have to change it again but in the test.

See any resource on JUnit best practices about tests that are too brittle.
