Hi all,
thanks your suggestions are very helpfull and I managed to have something
resembling an integration test using Trial :-)
Indeed the HTML version does not work for me either but the document still
remains helpfull. So, is this documentation something going to be published
sooner or later (as I see it's in a branch) ?
Thank you. Regards,
Alessio Pace
