Hey everyone!

I'm excited to share my knowledge of API mocking with you. Effective API mocking is crucial for robust and reliable testing. In this post, I'll introduce you to four of my Udemy courses designed to help you take your API mocking skills from beginner to advanced.

1. Learn to Build WireMock Standalone Server using Java (For Beginners) (Best Buy)

This course is your gateway into the world of API mocking with WireMock. WireMock is a powerful Java library that allows you to simulate external APIs for unit and integration testing. This beginner-friendly course will guide you through setting up WireMock, creating mock responses, and utilizing features like stubs and mappings.

NOTE: This course is fully compatible with wiremock 3

This course will guide you through process of learning wiremock 3 using java library with live examples on each and every concept that includes below:

  1. Understanding basic api concepts with live use cases

  2. How wiremock works at backend ?

  3. Setting up remote wiremock instance on AWS(Free tier)

  4. How wiremock standalone instance is setup on remote servers in organizations?

  5. Extensive handson on incoming request match features in wiremock

  6. Different ways to send response dynamically

  7. Implementation of multiple use cases for User/Customer REST api using wiremock java and admin api 



2. API Mocking for Beginners - Complete Guide with Use Case (Best Buy)

Expanding on the foundation of WireMock, this course delves deeper into the concepts of API mocking. Here, you'll explore various use cases for mocking, including testing edge cases, isolating dependencies, and accelerating development cycles. We'll also cover essential tools and techniques to ensure your mock setups are robust and effective.

Topics covered include:

  • Foundation of API

  • Difference between Web Service & API

  • HTTP/S Concepts

  • REST Architecture

  • API Specifications with Handson

  • WSDL Specification with Handson

  • Open API Specification with Handson

  • Smartbear Swagger specifications

  • Using Swagger Editor

  • Service Virtualization concepts from basic to advanced

  • Handson on Mocking REST API

  • Identifying Unavailable system in Application architecture and replacing them with virtual Systems

  • Role of Service Virtualization in Devops

  • Hands On one of the API Mocking tools on industry level Use Case




3. Advanced API Mocking using WireMock Cloud (Best Buy)

Ready to take your mocking game to the cloud? This course introduces WireMock Cloud, a managed service that simplifies and streamlines your mocking endeavors. We'll explore the benefits of using WireMock Cloud, including scalability, collaboration features, and seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines.


4. Test Doubles - Mocks, Stubs, Fakes & Virtual Service (FREE)

This course goes beyond WireMock, providing a comprehensive understanding of test doubles. Test doubles are a broader category of tools used to simulate dependencies in testing. We'll explore different types of test doubles, including mocks, stubs, fakes, and virtual services. You'll learn when to use each type and how to leverage them effectively in your API testing strategy.

  • What are Test Doubles ?
  • Understanding Diiferent Test Doubles with Use Case
  • Where to use Mocks,Stubs,Fakes & Virtual Service ?
  • How service virtualization is driving the industry ?

By enrolling in these courses, you'll gain the knowledge and practical skills to:

  • Set up and configure WireMock for mocking external APIs.
  • Design effective mock responses for various testing scenarios.
  • Leverage the power of WireMock Cloud for scalable and collaborative mocking.
  • Understand and utilize different types of test doubles in your API testing strategy.
Whether you're a beginner in API testing or looking to enhance your existing skills, these courses offer a valuable learning path. Enroll today and take control of your API testing!

Setting Up a Remote Wiremock Instance on AWS: A Comprehensive Guide

Image
This blog post will guide you through setting up a remote Wiremock instance on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 Windows machine. Wiremock is a powerful tool for mocking external HTTP services in your tests, and using a remote instance allows you to manage your mocks from a central location. Prerequisites: An AWS account (you can sign up for a free tier account) Basic understanding of networking concepts like firewalls and ports Steps: Create an AWS Free Tier Account : Visit the AWS website and search for "free tier account." Follow the steps to sign up for an account, including providing your email address, password, and credit card information (AWS will not charge you if you stay within the free tier limits). Create a Windows EC2 Instance: Sign in to the AWS Management Console using your AWS account credentials. Search for "EC2" and select "EC2." Click on "Launch Instance." Choose a name for your instance (e.g., " wiremock-

API MOCKING/SERVICE VIRTUALIZATION: HOW DOES IT WORK?

Service virtualization is a powerful technique used in software development and testing to simulate the behavior of external dependencies. This blog post dives deep into the process of service virtualization, breaking it down into three key phases: Capture, Model, and Integration. Understanding Service Virtualization with a Real-World Example Imagine a banking application that interacts with various APIs, including a customer API. Testing the functionality of the banking application can be challenging if the customer API is unavailable or expensive to access. This is where service virtualization comes in. We can create a virtual customer API that mimics the behavior of the real one, allowing us to test the banking application independently. Phase 1: Capturing the Process The first step involves capturing the interactions between the banking application and the customer API. There are two main methods for achieving this: Recording Method: A tool like MockLab acts as a proxy, capturin

Test Doubles 101: Mocks, Stubs, Fakes, and Virtual Services Explained

Image
In the software testing world, crafting robust tests often involves isolating your code from external dependencies. This blog post delves into the concept of test doubles - Mocks, Stubs, Fakes, and Virtual Services - equipping you with a versatile toolkit to navigate these interactions seamlessly. We'll revisit the familiar banking application scenario to illustrate how each concept aids in test creation. The Banking Application: A Familiar Testing Ground Imagine a banker application used by bank staff to manage customer accounts. This application relies on a crucial dependency - the Customer API - to retrieve customer data for various functionalities. However, during testing phases, this API might be unavailable, under development, or cost-prohibitive to access. Test doubles come to the rescue by mimicking the behavior of the Customer API, allowing you to test your application in a controlled environment.
