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.
