A test workflow is a WDL workflow written for use in testing that imports from workflows or tasks intended for general use. They can be used for:

Testing a single task with an executor that cannot run a task directly
Asserting outputs from a workflow that you do not want declared as outputs the same way in your published workflow
Adding test helper WDL Tasks to the workflow before asserting outputs:
- sort
- extract or convert a binary format (see plugins)
- summarize or extract a sub-portion of output(s)
