Integration testing for .NET Aspire distributed applications is done by orchestrating AppHost containers and using test fixtures to ensure all services are ready before tests run, reducing flaky tests caused by startup timing.

Migrating from Testcontainers to .NET Aspire testing is supported by a smooth migration path that replaces direct container management with DistributedApplicationTestingBuilder for orchestrated AppHost-based end-to-end scenarios.

Container lifecycles during .NET Aspire integration testing are managed using DistributedApplicationTestingBuilder and ContainerLifetime.Session, which handle automatic cleanup and ensure isolated, repeatable tests after completion.

Collection fixtures are supported to isolate end-to-end tests across multiple .NET Aspire services, providing consistent test infrastructure and ensuring readiness checks are satisfied before executing distributed application scenarios.

Distributed .NET Aspire tests often fail due to container startup timing when readiness checks are not enforced; this Skill ensures all AppHost services are ready before tests run to prevent flaky integration test results.
