Extend PDA support

PDA has already been detailed in the earlier section on “Technical refactoring of PDA”. For more details about what PDA is and its purpose, please see that section.

In addition to the key object types, we have extended PDA to also support inbound web-services. In this scenario, where inbound web-services exist in the execution queue, it will check various facets of these objects to ensure that they will be able to playback correctly (but do this prior to starting the playback itself as like a smoke-test before using up data in the test system when a playback starts).

*We intend to extend PDA is the next release of Testimony further to support comparison of Fiori apps between the production system and the QA system under test. This should work in a similar way to how SAP GUI dialog transactions work in comparing fields upon screen (views) and ensuring these still exist, are of the right type and other such capabilities. This should be available when Fiori becomes generally available for use by customers.
