Automated integration test for workflow state machine execution failure that immediately terminate the execution

[aburkleaux-amazon]

Variations:

• standard workflow created from Custom Resource as part of stack
• workflow created from API

Steps:

1. create workflow

2. start workflow execution

3. generate an error to terminate the state machine execution. Examples:

   • abort the execution
   • exceed the history limit
   • exceed the data limit

4. verify the termination is handled by checking the status and message in the workflow_execution object. The expected result will look like this:

   {
   ...
   "Status": "Error",
   "Message": "Caught Step Function Execution Status Change error event for execution: arn:aws:states:us-west-2:526662735483:execution:CasVideoWorkflow-17iux2:CasVideoWorkflow39dae95e-8b72-48bf-b1a8-065fae6467e8 status:TIMED_OUT"
   ...
   }
