Purpose: The first step towards plug and play drivers in Simulato is to implement an additional driver to handle use cases other than user interfaces.

Approach: Four components are necessary in the next iteration of driver implementation for Simulato:

• API Driver
• Request Objects
• Response Objects
• API Expected State

Descriptions: (Not finalized may be augmented later)

API Driver

• Must be able to handle requests and responses from the API

Request

• Type of Request
• Related payload or parameters
• Pre-conditions made of responses

Response

• Type of Response
• Related payload

API Expected State

• BuildResponse(options)
• GetPayload(request)
• GetPayload(response)
• CompareResponse(comparedResponse)
• RegisterResponse(request)

Simulato Changes

• Split Expected State between UI and API
• Include switch in driverHandler to use UI or API driver
  • Possibly Include driver type in test to know which driver that test would need
