Dynamically create proxies, record traffic, and create assets using the REST API

in Virtualize

I was recently at a customer engagement and they had the following requirement:

We would like to create proxies on the fly, record traffic, create the asset, then delete the proxy.

Parasoft has a powerful REST API that can easily facilitate this. This script does the following
1. Creates a new Proxy in record mode
2. Grabs the proxy ID
3. Executes a test (Through the proxy)
4. Turns off the proxy
5. creates a virtual service from traffic
6. (Optional) Deletes the proxy

This script could be used to create multiple recordings and assets by looping through the v6/messageProxies PUT

Enjoy!
