Feature Request
It looks like we have a lot of test framework functionality for JCasC:
- https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/master/plugin/src/test/java/io/jenkins/plugins/casc/misc/JenkinsConfiguredWithCodeRule.java and dependencies
- Roundtrip tests from @MRamonLeon : [JENKINS-57761] - Add abstract test for export/configure roundtrip #908
- WiP - JCasC support in the Plugin benchmarking support by @AbhyudayaSharma: [JENKINS-57653] Introduce JMH benchmarks to Jenkins Test Harness jenkins-test-harness#135
Currently it is hard to reuse this code, because it is located within the test suites, so an odd dependency is needed. Also, it makes the downstream plugins to pull in more test dependencies than we really want.

What if we introduce a new configuration-as-code-test-harness component which would ship it in a library?
