What is stubbing a response?
Stubbing responses enables you to control every aspect of the response, including the response body , the status , headers , and even network delay . Stubbing is extremely fast, most responses will be returned in less than 20ms. Stubbing responses is a great way to control the data that is returned to your client.
What is stubbing in API?
A method stub or simply stub in software development is a piece of code used to stand in for some other programming functionality. A stub may simulate the behavior of existing code (such as a procedure on a remote machine; such methods are often called mocks) or be a temporary substitute for yet-to-be-developed code.
What is difference between stubbing and mocking?
Stub: a dummy piece of code that lets the test run, but you don’t care what happens to it. Mock: a dummy piece of code, that you VERIFY is called correctly as part of the test.
How is stubbing used in end to end testing?
Combining the proxy recording, HTTP API stubbing and the admin API gives you a very productive development workflow to generate new test data based on real API calls and use them in end to end tests: Send some real API calls to the service via the recording proxy using the app I am building or postman.
Why do you use mocks and stubs in software testing?
Using mocks and stubs to fake the external functionality help you create tests that are independent. For instance, say that the test writes a file to /tmp/test_file.txt and then the system under the test deletes it. The problem then is not that the test is not independent; it is that the system calls take a lot of time.
What does it mean when stub is running in different process?
This may mean the stub is running in a different process to the tests. If thats the case then there is a lovely typed c# client library baked into the library that makes calling the admin API from c# easy. Under the hood is uses RestEase.
Which is the best end to end testing?
WireMock.net can help speed this up. End to end testing is hard for many reasons, but I think one of the most common is that the developers under estimate how much time to allow for it and then rush the job.
