Modifying the tests

Adding a new test to acme_developer or integration

Under most situations, tests should be added to one of the acme categories.

1. Edit <ACME>/cime/scripts/lib/update_acme_tests.py

2. You'll see a python dict at the top of the file called TEST_SUITES, find the test category you want to change in this dict and add your testcase to the list.  Note the comment at the top of this file indicating that you add a test with this format: test>.<grid>.<compset>, and then there is a second argument for mods.

NOTE: acme_integration is a superset of acme_developer (IE, every test in acme_developer automatically goes into acme_integration as well).
