Hello @sidharth shukla
Why is mocking useful in API testing?
B. To simulate API behavior when the actual API is unavailable
Mocking is crucial in API testing because it allows testers to simulate API behavior without relying on the actual API. This is especially useful when the API is under development, unavailable, or expensive to use. It ensures that testing can proceed independently of external factors.
What is the difference between a stub and a spy in API testing?
A. A stub mimics behavior, while a spy tracks API call details
A stub is used to mimic specific behavior of an API by providing predefined responses, often for testing specific scenarios. A spy, on the other hand, records details about the API calls such as the number of invocations, arguments passed, and sometimes response details. Spies are useful for tracking interactions without changing the API’s behavior.
Which of the following is NOT a tool mentioned for API mocking?
D. Playwright
While Mockito, WireMock, and Postman are commonly used for API mocking, Playwright is primarily an end-to-end testing tool with support for web automation and does not focus solely on API mocking.
What does Playwright’s built-in mocking feature allow you to do?
B. Intercept, modify, and block network requests during test execution
Playwright’s built-in network interception feature lets you capture, modify, or block network requests during test execution, which helps in controlling the flow of tests that depend on external APIs and services.
What is a key benefit of using Playwright’s mocking feature in API testing?
A. It replaces real API calls with predefined responses, ensuring faster and more reliable tests
Playwright’s mocking feature helps you replace actual API calls with predefined responses, speeding up tests and ensuring reliability even when external services are unstable or unavailable.

1.Why is mocking useful in API testing?
The correct answer is B: To simulate API behavior when the actual API is unavailable.
Mocking in API testing means creating fake versions of APIs so that testers can test without needing the real APIs. This helps when the real APIs are still being built, not working, or too costly to use. It ensures that testing can go on without waiting for these external factors.
Sometimes, the real API you want to test isn't ready yet, or it's down for maintenance. Mocking lets you create a fake version of that API so you can keep testing your app without waiting, I am using wire mock fake API tool.
2.What's the difference between a stub and a spy in API testing?
The right answer here is A: A stub mimics behavior, while a spy tracks API call details.
A spy is more like a detective. It watches what's happening with the real API calls and takes notes on the details.
A stub simulates the behavior of an API by returning predefined responses, typically used to test specific scenarios in a controlled environment.
3.Which of the following is NOT a tool mentioned for API mocking?
The answer is 
Playwright.
Mockito, WireMock, and Postman are well-known for API mocking. Playwright is actually more famous for browser automation and testing, not specifically for API mocking
4.What does Playwright’s built-in mocking feature allow you to do?
The correct answer is B: Intercept, modify, and block network requests during test execution.
Playwright is mainly for browser stuff, it can also mess with network requests. This is super useful when you're testing how your app behaves with different API responses.
5.What is a key benefit of using Playwright’s mocking feature in API testing?
Correct Answer A: It replaces real API calls with predefined responses, ensuring faster and more reliable tests.
Playwright’s mocking feature lets you use fake API responses instead of real ones. It makes tests run faster and more reliable, even if the actual services are not working.
- Your tests run faster since you're not waiting on real API calls.
- Your tests are more reliable because you control exactly what responses come back.
- You can test tricky scenarios that might be hard to set up with a real API.

Hi @apoorva_uthra
Playwright is not primarily an API mocking tool, unlike Mockito, WireMock, and Postman. Hope that’s helps!
1. Why is mocking useful in API testing?
Answer: B. To simulate API behavior when the actual API is unavailable
Explanation: Mocking allows you to create simulated versions of APIs, enabling testing even when the actual API is not accessible or in development. This ensures continuous testing and prevents delays.
2. What is the difference between a stub and a spy in API testing?
Answer: A. A stub mimics behavior, while a spy tracks API call details
Explanation: A stub provides pre-defined responses to API calls, simulating the API's behavior. A spy records information about the API calls made, such as arguments and return values, for verification and analysis.
3. Which of the following is NOT a tool mentioned for API mocking?
Answer: D. Playwright
Explanation: Playwright is primarily a browser automation tool, not specifically designed for API mocking. However, it does have built-in features for intercepting and modifying network requests, which can be used for certain mocking scenarios.
4. What does Playwright’s built-in mocking feature allow you to do?
Answer: B. Intercept, modify, and block network requests during test execution
Explanation: Playwright's mocking feature provides control over network requests, allowing you to intercept, modify, or block them as needed. This is useful for simulating different network conditions or testing edge cases.
5. What is a key benefit of using Playwright’s mocking feature in API testing?
Answer: A. It replaces real API calls with predefined responses, ensuring faster and more reliable tests
Explanation: By mocking API calls, you can eliminate the dependency on the actual API, leading to faster test execution and reduced flakiness caused by external factors. Predefined responses can simulate various scenarios and ensure consistent test results.
