What are some considerations for using the Continuation class?

- "continuation" can also refer to an asynchronous callout initiated by a Continuation class - Continuation isn't subject to the limit of 10 concurrent long-running requests - Mock responses are required for testing since these are asynchronous callouts - There are continuation-specific limits while a continuation is executing, but these are reset after the continuation has returned and completed the execution path - 3 asynchronous callouts are possible within a single continuation using Continuation.addHttpRequest() - Up to 3 asynchronous callouts can be chained, so the next in the chain is only executed after the previous has completed or depending on the response - Making asynchronous calls from a WSDL-generated class is similar to the process for the HttpRequest class
