| 3 | Service Clients Usage |
| 4 | ===================== |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Tests make requests against APIs using service clients. Service clients are |
| 7 | specializations of the ``RestClient`` class. The service clients that cover the |
| 8 | APIs exposed by a service should be grouped in a service clients module. |
| 9 | A service clients module is python module where all service clients are |
| 10 | defined. If major API versions are available, submodules should be defined, |
| 11 | one for each version. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The ``ClientsFactory`` class helps initializing all clients of a specific |
| 14 | service client module from a set of shared parameters. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The ``ServiceClients`` class provides a convenient way to get access to all |
| 17 | available service clients initialized with a provided set of credentials. |
