1. WebResource

   WebResource instance can be accessed using getWebResource method. WebResource is a useful class to specify request body, headers and invoking Http Requests.

2. Client

3. Response

   Response instance can be accessed using getResponse method. Using response class user can access response status code, response body and response headers.

4. Validation Methods

   All the methods of Validator can be accessed directly in testcase or suite.

Below is an sample example to invoke http request and verify response code using QAF.

public class Wstest extends RestWSTestCase {

	@Test(testName = "create order")
	public void createOrder() {

		//request data
		Map<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
		data.put("clientName", "Amit");
		data.put("amount", "100");
		
		//create post request
		getWebResource("/orders.json").post(new Gson().toJson(data));
