Integration testing is done on master. Multiple libraries may differ 
between develop and master when you merge to master, so the testing on 
develop does not guarantee success in master.

One thing is true, though. Develop allows other libraries to be tested 
with your change. Again, this doesn't guarantee success when the change 
is merged to master, but at least it gives an opportunity to detect 
problems earlier.
