For an API relying heavily on external services, what approach should be taken to ensure comprehensive testing in a mock environment?
- Directly Testing External Services
- Disabling External Service Calls
- Simulating Network Failures
- Stubbing and Mocking External Services
To ensure comprehensive testing of an API relying on external services in a mock environment, the preferred approach is stubbing and mocking external services. This involves creating simulated responses from the external services to mimic different scenarios. By doing so, the API can be thoroughly tested without the need for actual external service calls, providing control over various test scenarios.
