service-virtualization
From the author
Decision framework for isolating every external dependency in a test suite: when to use in-process mocks, HTTP stubs (MSW, WireMock), record-replay, fault injection (Toxiproxy), or ephemeral real services (Testcontainers), and how to enforce that no real calls escape in CI. Use when: "mock service," "stub API," "fake service," "WireMock," "MSW," "Toxiproxy," "test isolation," "dependency management," "stub an external API in CI." Not for: consumer-driven contract verification (Pact, broker) — use contract-testing; standing up a full Docker Compose env or seed data — use test-environments; broad resilience/game-day fault campaigns — use chaos-engineering. Related: contract-testing, test-environments, api-testing, test-data-management, chaos-engineering.

- WireMock API SimulationPramodDutta/qaskillsAPI simulation and service virtualization with WireMock for HTTP stubbing, request matching, stateful behavior, and fault injection testing.Engineering★ 240
- unit-test-wiremock-rest-apigiuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kitProvides patterns for unit testing external REST APIs using WireMock. Stubs API responses, verifies request details, simulates failures (timeouts, 4xx/5xx errors), and validates HTTP client behavior without real network calls. Use when testing service integrations with external APIs or mocking HTTP endpoints.Testing★ 362
- wiremock-standalone-dockergiuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kitProvides patterns and configurations for running WireMock as a standalone Docker container. Generates mock HTTP endpoints, creates stub mappings for testing, validates integration scenarios, and simulates error conditions. Use when you need to mock APIs, create a mock server, stub external services, simulate third-party APIs, or fake API responses for integration testing.DevOps★ 362
- 702-technologies-wiremockjabrena/plinthUse when you need framework-agnostic WireMock guidance — stub design, JSON or programmatic mappings, precise request matching, response bodies and faults, classpath fixtures, isolation and reset between tests, verification of calls, dynamic ports and base URLs, and avoiding flaky stubs — without choosing Spring Boot, Quarkus, or Micronaut. This should trigger for requests such as Design or review WireMock stubs (JSON mappings or Java DSL); Improve request matching, isolation, or reset strategy for HTTP mocks; Add or fix verification of outbound HTTP calls to a WireMock server; Debug flaky tests involving WireMock or unmatched request journals.

- test-environmentspetrkindlmann/qa-skillsDesign environment strategy for testing across dev, CI, preview, staging, and production — Docker Compose test infrastructure, multi-stage Dockerfiles, seed-data lifecycle, per-PR preview environments, production parity, and external-dependency stubbing at the HTTP boundary. Use when: "set up test environment," "docker-compose for tests," "per-PR preview environment," "staging parity," "spin up test infra," "environment tiers." Not for: choosing mock-vs-stub-vs-fake per dependency — use service-virtualization; factory and fixture data patterns — use test-data-management; pipeline/Actions config — use ci-cd-integration. Related: test-data-management, ci-cd-integration, contract-testing, service-virtualization.Testing★ 208
