Your Postman collection already describes your API. It just lives in one person's workspace. Import it into Mockfly and frontend, QA and CI all hit the same hosted mock. Then add the 404s and edge cases nobody saved as examples. How it maps: mockfly.dev/articles/postman…

Saturday tip: if your frontend suite depends on shared staging, you're borrowing someone else's outage calendar. Pin the contract locally—happy / empty / 401—and keep staging for true integration. Overnight CI gets a lot quieter.

E2E suites that hit staging inherit every flake the backend has. Cleaner split: Playwright/Cypress drive the browser; point the app at a mock API you can version and flip with an x-scenario header (happy / empty / 401). Keep page.route / cy.intercept for spies and one-offs.

Most mock bugs aren't bad JSON. They're the wrong response firing: rule order, a disabled branch, proxy left on. We added a Flow tab that draws the decision path for a request — so you stop reverse-engineering your own config from the network panel. mockfly.dev

Payment gateways answer 202, then call your webhook later. That's where the bugs hide: unsigned requests, double charges on retries, UIs stuck on "processing". New guide: mock the whole flow, callback, HMAC check and retry tests included 👇 mockfly.dev/articles/test-pa…

Got an OpenAPI spec but no backend yet? You can have a working mock API in about 5 minutes. Paths become endpoints, tags become folders, and response data comes from your examples first, then your schemas, then Faker placeholders. mockfly.dev/articles/openapi…

Your UI handles the happy path. Cool. Now try: - a 500 on the second request - a response that takes 30s - an empty array - a 200 with an error in the body Which one breaks your frontend first? 😅

Your UI works great... until the API returns a 429. We wrote up how to reproduce 401s, 422s, rate limits, flaky 500s and timeouts on demand with a mock API, plus the client code that handles each one: mockfly.dev/articles/simulat…
