+Package lntest provides testing utilities for the lnd repository.
+
+This package contains infrastructure for integration tests that launch full lnd
+nodes in a controlled environment and interact with them via RPC. Using a
+NetworkHarness, a test can launch multiple lnd nodes, open channels between
+them, create defined network topologies, and anything else that is possible with
+RPC commands.
