Use Cases
Skyramp makes it easy to do distributed testing of your modular apps under real-world conditions. The components of the Skyramp TestKit addresses the different challenges of going beyond basic unit testing. Let’s look at some of the use cases where Skyramp can help:
Mocker
Outside Help Not Required
External dependencies like Salesforce, Hubspot, Slack etc. are an important part of most modern applications. But it can be cost prohibitive or even impossible to run tests involving these integrations. Mocker can mimic these external services to deliver better test coverage.
Inside Help Not Required
There can also be internal dependencies that you need to mock to isolate the services you wish to test. This could be to speed up development iteration, or because although the API contract has been defined, the internal dependency is still under development.
Testing Offline
Sometimes, you might want to test without being online. Mocker can help you do that. You can check if your app behaves well even when it can’t connect to the internet or other outside services.
Testing Fast
Using Skyramp to pretend that things are in place can make your testing faster. It’s quicker because you don’t have to set up all the complicated external apps each time you test.
Tester
No Proxy, No Gateway, No Problem
When deploying to a cluster, it can be tricky to reach endpoints in the cluster. Tester automates everything you need to not worry about that anymore.
Testing Lots of Traffic
Skyramp can help you check how much traffic your app can handle, so you’ll know your app won’t break under normal demand, and you’ll also know how much it can take during surges.
Share Tests and Results
Unlike tests that are written and trashed again and again, Skyramp tests are easy to share, understand, re-use and modify by everyone. This ensures that tests are battle-tested, and makes testing with Skyramp easier for everyone. Also, through our dashboard we make it easy to share test results with your team for collaborative problem solving.
