Parallel Development
Mock Internal APIs and Microservices
Prevent bottlenecks in your development process by parallelizing development work between API consumers and API developers
The Challenge
When different teams are dependent on unfinished APIs, development grinds (e.g., a front-end team waiting for a back-end API, or an internal team waiting for a partner API).
The Solution
WireMock Cloud keeps your dev organization productive by allowing development to continue around realistic mock APIs that run as a service in your environment. Advanced features such as state management, proxying, and contract testing give you more flexibility to build and test your app in real-world conditions.
Quickly spin up new mocks that run as a hosted service
Build and manage your mocks via the web UI, and scale usage with the WireMock Cloud API
Run WireMock as a hosted service in our Cloud, or on a Kubernetes cluster
Import OpenAPI / Swagger specs to instantly scaffold mock APIs and easily import or automatically generate test data
Remove dependencies and keep every team building and testing
Continue developing API-dependant features with realistic mocks that simulate real-world conditions
Dynamically generating responses based on runtime data and context to test downstream behavior
Keep developers on the same page and identify ‘drift’ from pre-agreed API definitions
Prototype, develop, and test APIs collaboratively to prevent production issues
Test your system end-to-end against realistic mocks for smoother integration
Collaborate on mocks to identify issues with API design or implementation early
Validate system resilience by testing worst-case scenarios including delays, throttling, and errors
Keep your APIs mocks trustworthy with continuous contract testing
Validate your mock’s requests and responses against the OpenAPI definition
Keep your mock APIs reliable when the mocked API changes
Keep developers on the same page and identify ‘drift’ from pre-agreed API definitions
Use Git as the source of truth
Keep teams aligning by using Git to store the canonical version of a spec
Automatically pull changes in to your mocks in WireMock, and use WireMock to push updates to the spec when you’re ready
Leverage a GitOps way of working for API prototyping, designing and mocking
