Developers looking for an HTTP-based API simulator solution to reduce build time and optimize productivity

About WireMock

WireMock is a simulator for HTTP-based APIs. Some might consider it a service virtualization tool or a mock server. It enables you to stay productive when an API you depend on doesn't exist or isn't complete. It supports testing of edge cases and failure modes that the real API won't reliably produce. And because it's fast it can reduce your build time from hours down to minutes. MockLab is a hosted API simulator built on WireMock, with an intuitive web UI, team collaboration and nothing to install. The 100% compatible API supports drop-in replacement of the WireMock server with a single line of code. Run WireMock from within your Java application, JUnit test, Servlet container or as a standalone process. Match request URLs, methods, headers cookies and bodies using a wide variety of strategies. First class support for JSON and XML. Get up and running quickly by capturing traffic to and from an existing API.

EasyMock

Most parts of a software system do not work in isolation, but collaborate with other parts to get their job done. In a lot of cases, we do not care about using real collaborators implementation in unit testing, as we trust these collaborators. Mock objects replace collaborators of the unit under test. To test a unit in isolation or mount a sufficient environment, we have to simulate the collaborators in the test. A Mock Object is a test-oriented replacement for a collaborator. It is configured to simulate the object that it replaces in a simple way. In contrast to a stub, a Mock Object also verifies whether it is used as expected. EasyMock has been the first dynamic Mock Object generator, relieving users of hand-writing Mock Objects, or generating code for them. EasyMock provides Mock Objects by generating them on the fly using Java proxy mechanism.

Mocki

If you want to create a simple API for testing purposes, simply enter a response body and get your custom API URL. Use Mocki to create a fully-fledged mock API. Using Mocki you can create, run, and deploy mock APIs. Use your mocks to design your API, serve static responses, simulate error scenarios, and remove dependencies to external services. Sign up today for a free 7-day trial. Sync your service with your code repository to keep your mock service up to date with the latest changes without manual steps. Using our managed hosting solution your mock service is always available for any consumer. Access a dashboard to gather insights on how your mock service is used. Using our open source CLI you can run your services locally. This enables you to run your service without requiring an internet connection to reach external services. A mock API can also be useful when testing backend apps. A common case is that your API or service needs to call external services over HTTP.

MockLab

Craft your simulation using the friendly, no-code UI or go fully automated with the 100% WireMock-compatible API. Simulate stateful behaviour in your mocked API using a simple finite state machine model. Test your app to destruction by injecting delays, dropped connections, drip-drip responses and corrupt HTTP payloads. A MockLab plan's collaborator limit is the total number of individual collaborators + team members that can be added by the owning account so e.g. if your subscription has a collaborator limit of 2, this means that you and 2 colleagues can work on your APIs. Test your app to destruction by injecting delays, dropped connections, drip-drip responses and corrupt HTTP payloads.
