Involved artifacts:

1. MetaTransactionProvider: is a smart contract that acts as a proxy, and provides some methods for signature verifying and execution of call to 3d party smart contract methods.

2. MockVault: is the smart contract which methods we want to call, without the caller have to pay the fees. It has two simple methods used in the tests.

3. Sender address: is the address that sign the message with the methods to be called in destination contract. This address will not pay the gas fees, but will be the "sender" of the transaction.

4. Miner addresss: is the address that pays the gas fees of the ethereum transaction.
