[Cosmo-dev] testing data migration for cosmo 0.6

[Mikeal Rogers]

I think the confusion comes from my very long sentence, this should  
clear things up.

We have to remove the users because the tests will just overwrite the  
existing data before they evaluate each response. This is also why we  
are verifying the data that we added with the automated tests pre- 
migration manually.
