OpenAPI contract validation: schema-driven checks without hand-written assertions

What it is
Schema-driven checks using OpenAPI contracts to validate responses without manually writing assertions for every field.

Why it’s needed
- APIs change; contracts help detect breaking changes early.
- Handwriting deep schema assertions is slow and error-prone.
- Regulated releases benefit from contract evidence.

Benefits
- Early detection of contract regressions.
- Less manual test authoring effort.
- Clear evidence that API responses conform to spec.

How to use it in WebSureQTool
Import OpenAPI spec.
Enable contract validation for selected endpoints/scenarios.
Run the scenario and review which schema rules failed (if any).
Treat contract validation as a baseline; add targeted assertions for business-critical fields.
