    Testing the bot for yourself: To test the bot out yourself you'll need to download the code and also install the latest version of the Bot Framework Emulator (you can find it here). This will allow you to test the bot over web chat. It's a straight forward process just run the code and connect the bot. When connecting the bot, the url should look something like this: http://localhost:3978/api/messages this is the endpoint for requests to be sent to the bot.
