This repository contains practical examples for using Tricentis Simulation, a key capability of Tricentis Tosca designed to support API simulation and service virtualization. These examples demonstrate how to simulate APIs and virtual services to enable reliable and continuous testing, even when dependent systems are not available.
Tricentis Simulation allows testers and developers to simulate the behavior of APIs, services, and components that are not yet implemented, are unstable, or are otherwise unavailable. By virtualizing these dependencies, you can
- Continue development and testing without waiting for other teams or systems.
- Avoid delays due to test environment unavailability.
- Simulate edge cases and negative scenarios that are difficult to reproduce in real systems.
- Enable parallel work across teams in complex microservice architectures.
Simulation is essential in shift-left testing and continuous testing strategies, helping teams catch issues early and increase release velocity.
This repository includes hands-on examples that illustrate how to use Tricentis Simulation in real-world scenarios. Each example is designed to be self-contained and comes with detailed explanations to help you understand the concepts and tools involved.
examples/shoppingCard Simulates a shopping card service.
Each folder contains
- Simulation configuration files.
Refer to Tricentis Documentation for installation and configuration details.
Each example includes a README.md inside its folder with
- What it simulates
- How to deploy it
- How to integrate with Tosca test cases
- Expected outputs and test scenarios
Contributions are welcome! Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests if you
- Have additional simulation use cases
- Found bugs in the examples
- Want to improve the documentation
Tricentis Simulation helps you break the testing bottlenecks caused by unavailable or unreliable systems. Use these examples to learn, prototype, and integrate simulations into your test strategy.
Happy Testing! 🚀
