+//! # Testing with connections pools
+//!
+//! When testing with connection pools, it is recommended to set the pool size to 1,
+//! and use a customizer to ensure that the transactions are never committed.
+//! The tests using a pool prepared this way can be run in parallel, because
+//! the changes are never committed to the database and are local to each test.
