Topic: Test category guidelines

After introducing the test category guidelines and providing some examples, we mainly discussed the following points:
- We could soon create regression tests for Lithic transactions.
- We discussed that tests should be parameterized rather than duplicated.
- We talked about the use of mocked API responses not only in integration tests but also in Remittance regression tests. Additionally, for calling tests, we may be able to simulate responses from Rebtel in the staging environment.
- Many third party provider services already have test data available, which we can request. If that isn't possible, we can create our own mock test data.
- We addressed when to implement smoke tests. They should cover core features that are stable and widely used. If a function is no longer widely used, its smoke test can be removed.
