Scenarios

A Scenario is a sequence of Requests that describes a workflow

Use Cases:

• Replaying or testing requests in a sequence

• Documenting common workflows

• Sharing those workflows with others

What is a Scenario?

Take for example in a new user registration flow for some hypothetical application, the following HTTP requests are sent:

1. POST /user to create the new user

2. GET /user/{user_id} to retrieve data about the user

3. GET /products to retrieve a store's list of products to present to the user

This sequence of requests is specific for that workflow, has a defined order and can tied together. This enables you to group requests together, share them with other engineers or even replay the whole sequence. This is what we define as a scenario.

How To Create Scenarios

From the CLI

Run the following command to view your scenarios:

$ stoobly-agent scenario list

  id  name                  requests_count  description      is_deleted  key
   1  My First Scenario                  1                            0  eyJwIjogMCwgImkiOiAzfQo=

Here in our example we have a single scenario. The scenario Key can be found in the key column which is eyJwIjogMCwgImkiOiAzfQo=.
