We apply various conventional tests of integrability to the supersymmetric nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We find that a matrix Lax pair exists and that the system has the Painlev\'e property only for a particular choice of the free parameters of the theory. We also show that the second Hamiltonian structure generalizes to superspace only for these values of the parameters. We are unable to construct a zero curvature formulation of the equations based on OSp(2$|$1). However, this attempt yields a nonsupersymmetric fermionic generalization of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation which appears to possess the Painlev\'e property.
