the process of creating APIs for testing and automation should be as easy possible. the tools that exist nowadays for this purpose aren't good enough IMHO, which led me to build it.

the process of creating APIs for testing and automation should be as easy possible. the tools that exist nowadays aren't good enough, they require you to use their programming language of choice or complex procedures for a task that should be simple. I built mock to try to solve that and still continue to maintain it.

that's a really useful testing strategy. I used to to write automated tests using an approach very similar to yours, but I was often bothered that I needed to write code in a programming language to set up the mocked data. After a while the testing code gets really verbose. Not just the mocking setup but also the assertion logic. I wanted an easier way that didn't involve writing much code, so I ended up building "mock":

I built mock, an api tool and testing utility to be able to quickly manipulate API responses and act as a proxy server at the same time.
After some time, I decided to open-source it:

Hey very useful app, I'll be watching this. I once wanted to set up backend apps during automated CI jobs in order to facilitate e2e tests and ended up making an utility kind of similar - but yours truly goes beyond.
With mock you can set up backend APIs completely from configuration files or even from command-line parameters - such as
$ mock serve --port 3000 --route 'say_hi/{name}' --method GET --response 'Hello world! My name is ${name}.' --route "what_time_is_it" --method GET --exec 'printf "Now it is %s" $(date +"%H:%M") > $MOCK_RESPONSE_BODY'

mock - language agnostic API mocking and testing utility

I built it because I needed an easy way to set-up API endpoints that weren't implemented yet by some other team. After a while I open-sourced it.
