Generic Server of Mocks

Generic Server of Mocks

Generic Server of Mocks (GSM) is a small web server which mimics the behavior of a real service to ease testing. It also provide a web interface to modify simulated resquests and responses.

Main features are:

• Load mocks.
• Edit mock resquest and response.
• Edit configuration and restart server.
• Edit internal variables to build responses.
• Send messsage directly.

The user interface is split into 5 area. On top and in the bottom, there are descriptive header and footer. On left there a menu panel follow by a short sub area displaying useful tricks. The central area shows main information and control button. Just between this area and the footer, there's a status bar to display informative messages and errors.

• Help message
• Mock list
• Mock edition
• Variable edition
• Server configuration

Server usage

Ѕerver flags

• Debug flag: display more informations.
• Mocks list: define list of mocks (json file).
• Listening port: server port.
• Epsilon: threshold for float comparison.
• Exactness flag: by default extra properties are excluded from mock comparison; if this flag is activated, mock comparisons require exactness.
• Root directory: directory where mocks and mock list are located.
• Values file: variables and values file.

Mock comparison

Incomming requests are checked against a list of references.

Standard mock comparison

• Extra properties are excluded.
• Float comparison is bounded by epsilon.
• Array order is not required.

Mock special fields

• Prefix 'regex:' defines a pattern matching.
• Prefix 'var:' defines internal variable which can be recall in response body.

Mock properties

• Identification
• Description
• Request body
• Request header
• Route
• Method
• Response body
• Response code
• Response header

Mock special properties

• Exactness
• Ordering
• Uniquity
