   Scenario Outline: Application Transaction Tests (<operation>)
+    # TODO: this scenario should be modified to use the "Given suggested transaction parameters..." step instead of combing suggested params and app call params in one step
     When I build an application transaction with operation "<operation>", application-id <application-id>, sender "<sender>", approval-program "<approval-prog-file>", clear-program "<clear-prog-file>", global-bytes <global-bytes>, global-ints <global-ints>, local-bytes <local-bytes>, local-ints <local-ints>, app-args "<app-args>", foreign-apps "<foreign-apps>", foreign-assets "<foreign-assets>", app-accounts "<app-accounts>", fee <fee>, first-valid <first-valid>, last-valid <last-valid>, genesis-hash "<genesis-hash>", extra-pages <extra-pages>, boxes "<boxes>"
     And sign the transaction
     Then the base64 encoded signed transaction should equal "<golden>"
+    And the decoded transaction should equal the original
 
     Examples:
       | operation | application-id | sender                                                     | approval-prog-file                | clear-prog-file                   | global-bytes | global-ints | local-bytes | local-ints | app-args | foreign-apps | foreign-assets | app-accounts                                                                                                          | boxes                      | fee  | first-valid | last-valid | genesis-hash                                 | golden
