Potential enhancement - upgrade tests to use virtual alexa

Hi @acucciniello - I see that you are using our BSTAlexa testing framework here. That is awesome.

I wanted to let you know that we pulled this out of our core https://github.com/bespoken/bst repo and put it in it's own repo, here:
https://github.com/bespoken/virtual-alexa

We also made several enhancements to it - adding promises for returns, simplifying greatly setup and teardown, as well as adding a more user-friendly constructor object. Here is an example of it in action:
https://github.com/bespoken/GuessThePrice/blob/master/test/index-test.js

     it("Launches successfully", async function() {
    const bvd = require("virtual-alexa");
    const alexa = bvd.VirtualAlexa.Builder()
        .handler("index.handler") // Lambda function file and name
        .intentSchemaFile("./speechAssets/IntentSchema.json")
        .sampleUtterancesFile("./speechAssets/SampleUtterances.txt")
        .create();

    let reply = await alexa.launch();
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "Welcome to guess the price");

    reply = await alexa.utter("two");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "what is your name");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "contestant one");

    reply = await alexa.utter("john");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "what is your name");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "Contestant 2");

    reply = await alexa.utter("juan");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "let's start the game");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "Guess the price");

    reply = await alexa.filter(function (request) {
        console.log("Request: " + JSON.stringify(request, null, 2));
    }).utter("200 dollars");
    assert.include(reply.response.outputSpeech.ssml, "the actual price was");
});

When you have a chance, please take a look - would love your feedback on it. And if you choose to use it, happy to help or answer any questions.
