It is useful for various reasons, including testing, isolation, development, and cost reduction. By using API mocking, developers can test their code without relying on the availability of the real API, isolate the code being tested from the behavior of the API, work on their code even when the API is not yet available, and reduce the number of requests they make to the real API, thus saving money. WireMock is a flexible tool for building mock APIs and can operate as either a standalone server or as a managed service through WireMock Cloud. Tom Akehurst is the CTO & Co-founder at WireMock and he joins us today. Full disclosure: Wiremock is a sponsor of Software Engineering Daily.
