Description

To keep the API consistent, API guidelines have been documented here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TC/API+Guidelines

See "Response Codes" section. Also, there are helper functions in Utils/Helper.pm to return error response codes along with a message.

By keeping response codes consistent, it makes it easier to consume the api and respond to error scenarios.
