# Integration Tests
An integration test is when you need to test the interaction of multiple systems or parts of your application.
An integration test may seem similar to an [acceptance test](/tests/acceptance-tests). The main difference is that an acceptance test is from the perspective of the end user while an integration test is from the perspective of the developer.
Integration tests can be found in the directory `spec/requests`.
You can run all integration tests with:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/requests
```
To run an individual file you can use for example:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/requests/stories_show_spec.rb
```
To run a specific test case you can use for example:
```shell
bundle exec rspec spec/requests/stories_show_spec.rb:10
```
where `10` is the line number of the test case you want to execute.
