Stateful Service
With the scenarios you can simulate a stateful service. It's useful to create test doubles.
A scenario is a state machine and you can assign an arbitrarily state.
When Monster Mock recieve a new request and there is an scenario defined in the matching mock, Monster Mock checks if the mock is valid for the current state. Also a new scenario state can be set after the mock match.
By default all scenarios has the state "not_started" until some mock triggers a new one.
