In this program, participants learn about Hoverfly and its use cases. Assuming little knowledge on participants-side, program starts with basics of Http and Api. It covers lot of ground for Junit5 as well. Hoverfly is free and open source rest api simulation tool. With extensive configuration and other first-class features, Hoverfly allows to rapidly create and execute automated test by simulating Api dependencies. Simulation can be used to prepare automated api test scripts as well. Participants learn how to use Hoverfly to deal with rest api requests and responses for various usecases. Program teaches participants to use Hoverfly with Junit5. Program includes demos and hands-on.

Audience

Program is primarily for participants who must be software savvy testers and developers who aspire to use Hoverfly to simulate any Apis.

Prerequisites

Participant must be able to code (at beginner level) in Java for JUnit portion of program.
