  1. Wiremock Intro?
    • Serves canned responses to particular requests (stubbing), and that captures incoming requests so that they can be checked later (verification).
    • External to application code which helps in the testing app in Dev and ST(System Testing) environment
    • Helps in testing negative Scenarios like network latency
    • Language Agnostic and production like testing
  2. How to differentiate Positive and Negative Scenarios?
    It could be done based on method(GET, POST, DELETE, PUT), Path(/employee, /success) and based on Parameter.

     GET /employee?name=mugil
       
 Method - GET
 Path   - /employee
 Params - name

  3. How priority of Stub Response is selected when Paths overlap?
    Stub is lowest no in priority would be selected.

    	//Priority 1
	wireMockServer.stubFor(get("/welcome")
			.atPriority(1)
			.willReturn(aResponse()
		        .withBody("Welcome with Priority 1")));

	//Priority 2
        wireMockServer.stubFor(get("/welcome")
		.atPriority(2)
                .willReturn(aResponse()
                .withBody("Welcome with Priority 2")));

    Output

    Welcome with Priority 1
