Create a harness on top of Marionette JS that executes and controls a device with the level of care and confidence appropriate to UATs, as established via GaiaTest Python.
Create a test suite on top of Marionette JS that executes and controls a device with the level of care and confidence appropriate to acceptance testing, as established via Gaia UI Tests in Python.

UATs are currently written in Python on top of GaiaTest. While this has worked well for us, the organization in general is moving towards JavaScript.  
Acceptance tests are currently written in Python on top of the Gaia UI Test harness. While this has worked well for us, the organization in general is moving towards JavaScript.  


This heavily limits our ability to get development to cooperate in reviewing or making changes to our UATs. While QA does own these, some assistance is helpful and Python is a blocker.

In addition, Views (page object equivalents) will be created first in JavaScript to handle CI testing. If we do not align, we will have to reimplement the same basic classes in Python. Further, by using common view objects, developers will effectively maintain the UATs on the way to keeping CI tests green.

Analyze GaiaTest on Python and implement any missing pieces on top of Marionette JS and Mocha, as appropriate. Port existing tests to the new harness.
