What is MockServer
Official documentation: https://www.mock-server.com/
For any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS MockServer can be used as:
- a mock configured to return specific responses for different requests
- a proxy recording and optionally modifying requests and responses
- both a proxy for some requests and a mock for other requests at the same time
When MockServer receives a request it matches the request against active expectations that have been configured. Then, if no matches are found, it proxies the request if appropriate; otherwise a 404 is returned.
return a “mock” response when a request matches an expectation
