One of the tricks I use, is to write a minimal harness, then inject stimulus, and observe the response.

I do this for Bluetooth devices, and I have also used utilities, like REST explorer apps, Bluetooth Explorer, PacketLogger, USB Explorer, Charles Proxy and Wireshark.

The drawback is, that I could accidentally codify features subject to change.

All that said, I tend to be veeery leery of any dependency. Adding dependencies is a serious issue.

If the dependency is badly documented, then that’s a “red flag” that it may not have much of a future.
