assertion json date check

Hello  msalvador 

Below is groovy code for your assert that can be dropped into a "Groovy Script" test step.  You can hack it up to meet your needs. 

Regards,

Todd

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;

log.info 'Test Step "' + testRunner.runContext.currentStep.name + '" start...';
log.info "";

def String jsonStr = """
