After forwarded response:
Write the Requests and Responses to a .md file.
On persistence:
Stenograpi will need to somehow store what it observes over
the wire. A request, as far as I know, always has (0, 1) response.
This should get stored in mutliple files per request. Differentiate
requests by looking at the method, path and body. Allow for customization.
Each file should then be transpiled to a Markdown document. When you
first run Stenograpi this document will look very shallow, because
Stenograpi only has raw data from the HTTP exchange. However, the developer
can easily edit the file with titles and descriptions. When Stenograpi
is ran for a second time, these will be included in the document.
We are in a sense testing use cases. That is the whole point. And a use
case often has succeeding and failing outcomes. This must be taken into account.
On tests:
Should not really be coupled to tests after all, it has no
obvious benefit since we can not extract the test name, test
description and assertion.
Instead, the main use case example could just be cURL requests (?).
