And finally, we check that the supplied json equals to the one we got on step 3 (I use JSONAssert library here). The false boolean parameter tells to check only overlapping fields. For example, if the actual result contains the addressV2 field and the expected object doesn’t, it won’t trigger the failure. That’s a normal situation because backward compatibility data is static while the OrderCreated might grow with new parameters.
