WireMock

Step 1: Identify the external dependencies of the microservice.

Step 2: Create WireMock stubs to simulate the behavior of those dependencies.

Step 3: Configure the microservice to communicate with the WireMock server instead of the real dependencies.

Step 4: Run tests against the microservice, verifying its behavior in isolation.

Step 1: Identify potential error conditions (e.g., network timeouts, invalid responses).

Step 2: Create WireMock stubs to simulate these error conditions.

Step 3: Configure the application to interact with WireMock.

Step 4: Run tests to verify the application's error handling logic.

Step 1: Define the expected API contract (request/response format).

Step 2: Create WireMock stubs to simulate the API based on the defined contract.

Step 3: Develop the application against the WireMock stubs.

Step 4: Once the real API is available, switch the application to use the real API endpoint.

Step 1: Configure WireMock to introduce artificial latency to API responses.

Step 2: Configure WireMock to simulate bandwidth limitations.

Step 3: Run performance tests against the application interacting with WireMock.

Step 4: Analyze the application's performance under simulated network conditions.

Step 1: Define the API contract using a format like OpenAPI or Swagger.

Step 2: Create WireMock stubs based on the API contract.

Step 3: The API consumer uses WireMock to verify that the API provider adheres to the contract.

Step 4: The API provider uses WireMock to ensure that their API is compatible with the consumer's expectations.
