What Hoverfly Cloud API simulation can do for you

Simplify API simulation with Hoverfly Cloud

Hoverfly Cloud is a powerful and user-friendly tool built on top of the lightweight open-source Hoverfly. It helps speed up application projects by simulating the functional and performance behaviour of unavailable application components, allowing developers to streamline their workflow for:

 Creating Simulations

• Capture/Record real-world data: Replicate actual behaviour for realistic testing.
• Import Swagger files: Quickly create simulations from existing API definitions.
• Manually build simulations: Craft custom scenarios using the built-in editor.

Setting up Intelligent Test-Doubles

• Request matching: Define conditions for triggering specific simulations.
• Simulating behaviours: Introduce delays, errors, or other custom behaviour.
• Synthesise or lookup response data: Generate dynamic responses based on your needs.

 Sharing and Collaboration

• Export simulations: Share simulations for easy collaboration across teams.
• Run independent copies: Allow different teams to test with the same core simulations.

Effortless Automation

• CI/CD integration: Seamlessly integrate API simulation into your development workflow.
• Command Line or API Automation: Automate simulation management for a streamlined process.

API software testing with Hoverfly Cloud modes

Ensuring the smooth functioning of your applications relies on robust and efficient API software testing. But what happens when external dependencies or incomplete APIs hold you back? Hoverfly Cloud offers four distinct modes to simulate API behaviour for comprehensive testing. 

Capture Mode: Record real API traffic to create simulations for offline testing.
Passthrough Mode: Allows direct interaction with the real API without interference.
Simulate Mode: Fully emulate the API with pre-recorded responses.
Spy Mode: Primarily simulates the API but falls back to the real API for unrecognised requests.
