9	Puppet Forge Testing	After modules have been tag with an annotated tag	run the simp-core test install_from_core_module test to test the modules pushed to Puppet Forge							https://simp-project.atlassian.net/browse/SIMP-6076	in simp-core run beaker:suites[install_from_core_module] SIMP_BEAKER_OS=oel beaker:suites[install_from_core_module] beaker:suites[install_from_core_module,el6_server] SIMP_BEAKER_OS=oel beaker:suites[install_from_core_module,el6_server] and then do it all again with BEAKER_fips=yes

Tests - Regression/Integration Testing

The tests in this section are regression tests to ensure unmodified capabilities still function. These tests should use the packer boxes created in the New/Changed Feature tests, were applicable.

Note that most of these test should eventually be automated by simp-packer, simp-integration_test, or simp-core tests so check there and remove them from these list as they are automated elsewhere.
