Refactor tests to make them more readable

A walkthrough shows how to refactor a .NET integration test built with NUnit, WireMock, and WebApplicationFactory to improve readability. The original test mixes setup, REST calls, timing logic, and assertions in one method, making the actual scenario hard to see. The refactor extracts low-level HTTP and timing logic into a reusable SubmissionScenario helper class and moves web application bootstrap code into a separate WebApplicationUnderTest class, leaving the test method focused only on the scenario steps and assertions. The full before/after code is available in a linked GitHub repository, along with suggestions for further improvements like custom assertions and a builder class for scenario setup.
