Hi Florent,

Don't we just need a single extension step that can be extended as
necessary, or is there a longer set of requirements? If the latter,
what would be those requirements?

In my current project I've had to create a number of bespoke steps,
and I'm not clear where the difficulty is in what you all have been
describing. If it's *standardising* that test framework I understand;
if it's just doing it that doesn't seem very difficult (and therefore
I don't understand).

Cheers,

Murray
