Description

WireMock is a robust API mocking tool designed to simulate HTTP-based APIs, facilitating development, testing, and service virtualization. It enables developers to create mock servers that mimic the behavior of real APIs by allowing them to define responses to HTTP requests, enabling testing in isolated environments without needing access to external services. WireMock supports both local and cloud deployment, making it versatile for different development needs. Its features include request matching, response templating, record and playback, and support for various protocols. The tool's flexibility and ease of use make it a popular choice for developers aiming to improve their testing workflows.

What do you like best about WireMock?

It helps in mocking the Api's and we can add json so that it can send mock response the same way we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WireMock?

It can consume a significant amount of resource while you are running it in your computer, which may slow down the performance of the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WireMock solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we are developing an application, we have to develop both frontend and backend. While developing front end, we need some mock data to efficiently develop the front end. If the backend is not ready, we can use wiremock to mock the api and use it for developing front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WireMock?

We've used WireMock Cloud for almost a year now to augment our end to end API testing processes. The API mocks were incredibly simple for our team to learn and implement (we got this up and running in our CI within a couple days), and we have far more confidence in the integrity of our system because of it. We've found WireMock especially useful in cases where we need to mock third party api dependencies.

Their web platform is also easy to navigate and allows us to effectively track usage. The WireMock team is also very responsive and helps answer any questions we have about the tools. I would recommend them to anyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WireMock?

Nothing so far, it's bene perfect for our testing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WireMock?

Its ability to mock services is invaluable, allowing us to simulate complex scenarios and responses without relying on live environments or client data. The user-friendly GUI is another standout feature of WireMock. It simplifies the process of creating, managing, and monitoring mocks, making it accessible even for those who may not be as familiar with coding or complex configurations. The ability to easily import and export JSON files adds to its flexibility, enabling seamless integration into our workflows.

Moreover, the support team at WireMock is excellent—responsive, and prompt in addressing any issues we encounter. The available tutorials are also very helpful, providing clear guidance and best practices to get the most out of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WireMock?

It can be a bit pricey, especially for smaller teams or organizations with limited budgets. This may make it less accessible for those who need a reliable mocking service but are constrained by financial considerations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WireMock?

WireMock is really useful for mock APIs, from simple RESTful services to complex SOAP-based systems. WireMock can match incoming requests based on many criteria, e.g. the URL, HTTP method, request headers, and request body. This makes mocking APIs in a realistic way. It can also be used to stub specific requests with specific responses. This is really useful for testing different scenarios, such as successful responses, error responses, and even timeouts. WireMock can be deployed using Docker so that it can be isolated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WireMock?

WireMock can be complex to set up and use, especially for complex APIs. When working on a complex API scenario, it can be time-consuming to create and maintain the stubs. Debugging can be tricky because it needs access to the log to see what's going on internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WireMock solving and how is that benefiting you?

WireMock can be used to speed up the tests by mocking slow or unreliable APIs. It can be used to make tests more reliable by isolating them from external factors, such as network connectivity and API downtime. It also can be used to test the application against a real API without having to deploy it to a production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
