3*115816f9SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThe purpose of this module is to test the snapshot mechanism by running the testsuite against a number of different
4*115816f9SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerproviders to create a `Codebase` and then take a snapshot of the `Codebase` and perform the actual test against the
5*115816f9SAndroid Build Coastguard Workersnapshot. This will ensure that the snapshot provides the same capabilities as the original providers.
