Hoverfly is a light-weight open source tool for creating simulations of external services for use in development and testing. This technique is sometimes referred to as service virtualization.
Hoverfly was designed to provide you with the means to create your own "dependency sandbox": a simulated development and test environment that you control.
The Hoverfly documentation is available here.
For convenience:
- Capturing traffic
- Simulating services
- Exporting and importing
- Using middleware
- Creating synthetic services
- Modifying traffic
- Filtering destination URLs and hosts
- Using the metadata API
- Admin UI
- HTTPS & certificate management
- Authentication
Articles and blog posts with step-by-step Hoverfly tutorials:
- Creating fast versions of slow dependencies
- Modifying traffic on the fly
- Mocking APIs for development and testing
- Virtualizing the Meetup API
- Using Hoverfly to build Spring Boot microservices alongside a Java monolith
- Easy API simulation with the Hoverfly JUnit rule
