Yes, absolutely.
I would count the API response checks in the Additional posititive API /
scenario tests for integrated projects. I should have been clear that it
also means enhancements of those tests that ensures they are properly
checking things.
I think these are the kind of changes that help ensure a solid Icehouse
release.
