Product Overview

Mock/it

Description: Mock/it is an open source mocking framework for Node.js and Web. It allows developers to easily mock HTTP responses, object behavior, and more to simulate scenarios and test software without external dependencies.

WireMock

Description: WireMock is an open source tool for simulating HTTP-based APIs during development. It enables mocking and stubbing of APIs and servers before they are fully developed to enable faster testing of applications that integrate with them.
