What can developer do with SmartMock.io

Blocked Development

Developers are often blocked waiting for third-party APIs to be delivered.

Flaky Acceptance Tests

Integration or acceptance tests may fail due to dependent APIs being unavailable.

Bolierplate and Maintenance

Creating self-hosted mocks involves not only the implementation of their business logic but also other boilerplate, time-consuming tasks.

Unable to Test Corner Cases

It can be challenging to test failure integration scenarios with live systems.

Third-party API Transaction Costs

SMS, email sending, or any other billable transactions may generate additional costs.

Slow Tests

Setting up a state in a live system may be a time-consuming process that lengthens the time needed to execute a test suite, and slows down the test feedback loop.

What can developer do with QuickMocker

Instant Request Log

We provide an instant log of requests per each of your project which captures in "live mode" (instantly, no page refresh needed) all of requests made to your endpoints. Use it to debug your webhooks, apps etc.

Shortcodes

Use more than 100 shortcodes (contextual or faker response values) to generate request related or some fake random data. Could be anything starting from random numbers and ending with user profile data.

OpenAPI Import

Create dummy API endpoints in seconds. Import endpoints' prototypes from OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) Specifications using its JSON schema.

Local Forwarder

Forward instaltly requests from QuickMocker app to your local application URL that does not have public DNS/IP address while creating and integrating webhooks or any server callbacks.

RegExp URL

Use Regular Expressions (RegEx) inside the URL path to intercept requests with different URLs using the same endpoint and extract RegExp matches as parameters into response body using shortcodes.

Multiple HTTP Methods

You can set more than 1 HTTP method per mock endpoint (fake endpoint), which means you can intercept even all the requests using one single mock endpoint.

Request Proxy

Turn your fake web services into a "proxy server". Proxy requests to any external URL. Use requests log to debug and test the incoming request and the resulting response from the extrenal source.

Access Restrictions

Restrict access to your mock API or specific fake endpoint based on the IP address or Authorization Header. Use this to simulate and debug authorized and unauthorized requests.

πŸ›  Mirage's Features

What can developer do with Mirage

The best DX for frontend development.

Say goodbye to configuring painful backend environments just to hack on your UI. Mirage runs alongside the rest of your frontend code, so there’s no new infrastructure for you to learn. New collaborators can clone your frontend codebase, run npm install, and have a complete local offline dev environment up and running in seconds – no environment variables or auth tokens needed.

Write high-level UI tests that stress your networking code.

With Mirage, you can write automated tests against your API no matter what state it's in. Test how your app handles 0 blog posts, 10, or 1000 – or even how it behaves when your server is slow or responds with an error. No messy mocking code or handcrafted API responses in your tests. Just real-world scenarios validating the entire functionality of your full application.

Share a fully-working UI without running a backend.

Because Mirage realistically mocks out your entire API server, you can share a clickable, working prototype of your JavaScript application without needing to run any backend services. Get high-quality feedback from your users and iterate faster than ever, before you start investing in expensive server-side infrastructure.
