Tutorial

Docker Guide - Mocking API services in development and testing with WireMock

During local development and testing, it’s quite common to encounter situations where your app is dependent on the remote APIs. Network issues, rate limits, or even downtime of the API provider can halt your progress. This can significantly hinder your productivity and make testing more challenging. This is where WireMock comes into play.

Testing microservices with WireMock at Norway’s top online marketplace

Norway’s number one online marketplace, used to be a monolith but has migrated to Microservices during the last 4 years. The daily life of developers has become a lot better with Microservices, instead of everyone working on the same monolith. However, a problem arises when testing services thoroughly, as each service is dependent on other Microservices. This has been a big challenge, and has led to a lot of manual testing. However, lately we have started using a tool called WireMock which helps us stubbing out other Microservices. We will explain how this tool has helped us. Hopefully, the talk will help other developers with similar problems to get better testing when using Microservices.

AWS:Reinvent talk from Intuit on isolating services for testing with WireMock

One of the challenges of implementing CI/CD with service-oriented architectures (SOA) is reliable execution of test automation. Because every service evolves on its own schedule, having a single integrated test environment is virtually impossible. One way to handle this complexity is dependency mocking. We use the Wiremock tool, which allows users to stub for service dependencies and do resiliency testing that was hard to automate before.

Mock servers in the era of microservices

We are in the era of microservices. One of the advantages of microservices architecture is faster time to market. Development can be split into smaller parts, hence can be developed in parallel. Most of the time microservices communication is done by REST API. With that being said, a question arises as to how to efficiently develop a part of the system that requires communication with another part that is not ready. And the answer is by using mock. This tutorial will show how to easily set up a local mock server.

Fake It until You Make It! API Integration Testing with Containers & WireMock

Testcontainers has become one of the most popular tools for software integration testing. If you can put your system-under-test into a container, Docker compose cluster or a pod, this is what you’re likely to use. If your target isn’t ready, not containerizable or just too heavy for testing as is, you can always use mock testing frameworks, e.g. WireMock or MockServer in the JVM ecosystem.
