+synopsis:       Common module used for eventium tests
+description:    Eventium-test-helpers provides common testing utilities and helper functions for testing Eventium-based
+                applications. It includes utilities for event store testing, serialization testing, and common test fixtures
+                that are shared across the Eventium test suite. This package helps reduce code duplication in tests and
+                provides a consistent testing interface.
