It mocks db/ORM queries, inter-service calls, async events or 3rd party APIs</li> <li>Mocks get updated as you merge code or we get newer traffic.</li> </ol> <p><a href="//www.hypertest.co/demo">Walkthrough</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLemYh8Zm-g" rel="noopener noreferrer">Demo</a></p> <p>We are currently available for JS / node services. Would love to know feedback from devs here. Please give us a shout here if found this useful </p> ai testing mocks programming
