The full IPP simulation suite needs to perform the following tasks:

* define the parameters of a simulation run:
  * IPP stages to be triggered
    * detrend creation
    * chip/camera/warp
    * stack/diff
    * calibrations
    * etc

  * types of data to be generate
    * camera / telescope
    * raw detrend images
    * science images (filters, exposure times, position parameters)
    * transient data to include
    * photometry inputs

* generate a fake data set

* save the input truth valuesa

* inject into IPP & initiate processing

* test for successful completion

* compare the output measured values to the input truth values
