 ## Development
 
 We are experimenting with a new tool for running acceptance tests. Its name is [puppet_litmus](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus) this replaces beaker as the test runner. To run the acceptance tests follow the [instructions](https://puppetlabs.github.io/litmus/Running-acceptance-tests.html) from the Litmus documentation.
