Mocking – something we all need, and yet, usually, hate. Simply because writing mocks is a boring and cumbersome task. The good news – it doesn’t have to be like that. There are so many good alternatives that make mocking easier: From libraries that ease the process of writing the mock, though contract testing with Pact (which solve the problem in a totally different way) to automatically generating mocks using Swagger/Open API spec. All are really good solutions – but today I want to focus on WireMock: A tool that really makes mocking a fun.
