There are many tools that implement test doubles that are used by developers and testers.
Just to name a few that I have in mind and give you more context:
- Charles Proxy
- Hoverfly
- Mountebank
- SoapUI MockServer
- Traffic Parrot
- Wiremock
- CA Lisa
- and many more
The vendors and people using those tools call them names like:
- service virtualization
- over the wire test doubles
- api mock
- api simulation
- stub
- mock
and many more.
Please help me by answering these 3 questions:
- What names do you use or know to call those tools?
- What names make the most sense to you?
- What names make the least sense to you?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
