      # == Active \Model \Serializer \Lint \Tests
      #
      # You can test whether an object is compliant with the Active \Model \Serializers
      # API by including <tt>ActiveModel::Serializer::Lint::Tests</tt> in your TestCase.
      # It will include tests that tell you whether your object is fully compliant,
      # or if not, which aspects of the API are not implemented.
      #
      # Note an object is not required to implement all APIs in order to work
      # with Active \Model \Serializers. This module only intends to provide guidance in case
      # you want all features out of the box.
      #
      # These tests do not attempt to determine the semantic correctness of the
      # returned values. For instance, you could implement <tt>serializable_hash</tt> to
      # always return +{}+, and the tests would pass. It is up to you to ensure
      # that the values are semantically meaningful.
