Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for testing a software component by simulating an interface to a computing component using pseudo-randomized responses to service requests. For example, the method may include receiving a service request from a software component to be tested. Responsive to receiving the service request from the software component, the method accesses a data store of service requests and responses thereto. The method determines that a matching service request is stored in the accessed data, a matching service request being a service request that matches the service request received from the software component. The method identifies a plurality of associated responses that are stored in the accessed data store, each which is stored in association with the matching service request. The method pseudo-randomly selects one of the plurality of associated responses, and sends the pseudo-randomly selected associated response to the software component for processing.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for testing a software component by simulating a computing component interface using captured network packet information. A method may include receiving a service request comprised of one or more network packets from a software component to be tested. Responsive to receiving the service request, the method may access a data store of captured network packet information and determine that a matching service request is stored in the accessed data store. The matching service request may be comprised of one or more network packets that match the service request. The method may identify an associated response that is stored in the accessed data store. The associated response may be one or more network packets that are stored in association with the matching service request. The method then sends the associated response to the first software component.
