Brief description
This is the first test for ECS circulation functionality, focusing on Requests. This functionality includes the ability to create item and title level requests in borrowing and lending tenants. For the Library of Congress, this mean requesting from the Central tenant and a Collection/Data tenant. The goal of this test is to verify that ECS request functionality works as expected.
