It seems the test is about the data within the bucket assuming the correct format, not the connection to S3. Perhaps we can trust the author to have considered other ways to test this more properly that either wouldn't work for reasons or weren't nearly as fun.

Perhaps we can trust the author to have considered other ways to test this more properly that either wouldn't work for reasons or weren't nearly as fun. If security is legitimately not orthogonal to functional testing then that is the interesting part of the problem, but I don't see that laid out in the article. It would be a case for AWS and others to improve or add methods to support the test case in a secure way.
