About:
MockServer is a flexible tool for mocking HTTP services, enabling comprehensive testing of integrations and edge cases. It allows you to expect specific requests and define precise responses, including delays and fault injection. This facilitates robust testing without relying on live dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Expect and verify incoming HTTP requests
  • Define flexible response definitions and queues
  • Support for proxying and recording of live traffic
  • JSON/REST API for dynamic control
  • Docker container for easy integration
Use Cases:
  • Unit and integration testing of client applications
  • Simulating 3rd party API behavior and outages
  • Prototyping against APIs that are not yet available
Alternatives:
  • WireMock – Similar functionality, but WireMock is Java-based while MockServer is Java-based as well but offers distinct API styles and proxying features.
