For the functional testing stage, the first step is to install the application under test. To avoid the potential problems of installing the same release twice, we'll use helm upgrade instead of install.
As you already know, Helm only acknowledges that the resources are created, not that all the Pods are running. To mitigate that, we'll wait for rollout status before proceeding with tests.

When running multiple sets of different tests, consider using parallel construct. More information can be found in the Parallelism and Distributed Builds with...
