Getting and Running Standalone Integration Tests

The last step runs very basic integration tests against packaged thermostat. A summary of the test run can be found in the "thermostat-itest-reports" folder, file "summary.txt". In case of failed tests, there should be one file per failed test class in folder "thermostat-itest-reports". Look in those files for details about the test failures.
Why run those tests?
For example if those tests pass, bundles resolve for all thermostat one-off-commands. For more details have a look at the AllStandaloneTests class in the upstream Thermostat sources. At least this should give some confidence that packaged thermostat isn't terribly broken.
