Description

Mock Framework should detect common errors such as:

• Processor has member variable that is a PropertyDescriptor, but the PropertyDescriptor isn't returned in the list of supported property descriptors.
• Processor has member variable that is a Relationship, but the Relationship isn't returned in the Set of Relationships.
• Processor has multiple properties or relationships as member variables with the same name.
• No META-INF/services file
• META-INF/services file doesn't contain the Component's Fully Qualified Class Name
• No @CapabilityDescription annotation
• No @Tags annotation

Mock Framework should automatically detect these things and fail the unit test unless checking is disabled. This requires building an object that allows developer to enable/disable each of these checks.
