KalamazooX 2018 Recap

April 22, 2018 by Hilary

Sigh… KalamazooX is over. Most likely won’t be another one. Not sure what will be able to help me like it has now, but we’ll see. It’s not just a conference, it’s all of the people that I get to see. Sure I see them individually or in sub-groups other times of the year, but …

Using Fiddler AutoResponder for quick service or response mocking

November 21, 2017 by Hilary

In my Testing  RESTful Web Services talk, I touch on service virtualization briefly, and I include a short demo of using Fiddler‘s AutoResponder. I’ve been meaning to look into other (free) tools but haven’t had the chance.

After a question on the Testers Slack, I realized I could do a short blog post on how I demo’d AutoResponder in my talk. It gives a quick idea of the tool and one way you could use it. I love Fiddler*, and there’s so much more you can do than what I’ve been able to use. Please don’t take this post as a “this is the only way you can do things” – I’ll be the first to admit that even though I’ve used Fiddler for years, I feel like there’s so much more to know about it!

*Note: I am not paid by Telerik/Progress for my endorsement; I just love the tool 😀
