Tired of Unstable APIs During Performance Tests?

Do backend APIs ever go down during your important load run?

Or do they merely slow down, and their response time is jittering, making your results invalid?

Do you have to pay arm and leg to reserve the high-capacity backend APIs?

Or do you have to scale down your tests and drop the stress tests altogether?

How often the backends are not seeded with matching accounts?

Does troubleshooting across multiple downstream systems drive you crazy?

Is it the same story again every release?

Been There, Done That, Got XP

I’ve been in your shoes.

Since the early 2000s, I’m working with all flavours of IPC, from early RPC to SOA.

I realized that performance testing in distributed systems is often an afterthought, and the teams lack the resources and tools to thoroughly and efficiently load-test the applications.

Today, I’m helping my clients establish effective ways to test API-based applications in the performance testing phase.

I'm ready to help your team, too.

Some of the Companies I Helped

... We've saved weeks and $$$ in LT by using mocks instead of PROD-like backends.

The Solution is Simple: Mock the Backend APIs

Mocked APIs are always available.

Their response time and performance properties are predictable and can be configured as required.

Your load runs are easily comparable, apples to apples, and accounts are retained between releases to reproduce the scenarios exactly.

You can even simulate complex degradation scenarios!

And, importantly, the mocked APIs are, in order of magnitude, less expensive than real test environments.

MockMotor, a Capable Software Product

Your team can install the MockMotor server and mock the APIs independently.

Runnable under Linux or Windows, as a single instance or in a cluster.
