You can create a Mock Service by uploading Transactions from a supported file type. You can also create a Mock Service from an existing Service or a Template. If you want to add more Transactions to the Service, you can upload additional Transactions without having to switch tabs. As you create your Mock Service, you can select the specific Transactions that you want to include and then run them to make them available for tests.

When you test against a Mock Service, the Mock Service attempts to match an incoming request against any of its Transactions. The Transactions can be fully formed requests or regular expressions that many requests will match against. When a Mock Service receives a request that would be a match with multiple Transactions, the Mock Service matches against the most recent Transaction (with the highest ID number). Consider this matching logic when determining which Transactions to add to a Mock Service, and whether one or more multiple Mock Services are required to meet testing requirements. 

Create a Mock Service by Uploading Transactions

1. Click the Mock Services tab.
   
2. Click Mock Services at the top of the page.
   
3. Click Add new Mock Service.
   
   A new row is added to the top of the Mock Services list.
4. Enter a name for your Mock Service in the Mock Service Name field.
5. Click the arrow next to the Mock Service name to expand the details for the Mock Service.
   
6. Enter a description for your Mock Service.
7. Drag your transaction file into the upload area.
   • This file should contain all of the transactions that you want to use for your Mock Service.
   • You can also click the Upload area to browse to the file.
     
     The Import Transactions dialog opens.
     
8. Select the Service you want to add these transactions to. The Service is a representation of the underlying live service, and it serves as a container for the Transactions you will upload. If an existing Service contains Transactions that are needed for this Mock Service, select the existing Service.
   To create a new Service:
   1. Click Select Service.
   2. Enter the name for your new Service and click Add Service.
9. If you want to assign one or more tags to these transactions, type the tag name(s) in the Tags field and press Enter.
   • Tags make Transactions easier to identify, especially within a large Service. You can provide tag definitions here to apply the defined tags to all imported Transactions. Or you can define tags at the Transaction level after import.
   • To enter multiple tags, press Enter after each tag name.
10. Click Import.
11. Select the Service you just selected or created from the Select Service drop-down.
12. Select the location that you want to deploy your Mock Service to from the Location drop-down.
    • Unless you plan to run the Mock Service in a private location, select Cloud Provider > Cloud.
13. Select either HTTPS or HTTP from the Endpoint drop-down.
    • The default is HTTPS.
14. Select the check box for each Transaction you want to include in your Mock Service and click the arrow to move them from the Other Transactions in Your Catalog to the Transactions in This Mock Service column.
    
    
    • You can search by tag or text in the Other Transactions in Your Catalog column to find the Transactions you want to include.
    • Click the check box in the header to select all Transactions.
      Note: This check box selects all of the Transactions on the current page. It does not select all Transactions in the service.
15. Click the Parameters tab.
16. In the No Matching Requests field, choose the correct logic for when a request against the Mock Services does not match any of the provided transactions. The request can either throw an error or be redirected to the live service.
17. Set the Think Time in milliseconds to control the amount of time spent between when the Mock Service receives a request and returns a response. The default is 0, but you can update the field to simulate delayed responses.
18. Click Save.
    Your Mock Service is saved and added to the list of available Mock Services.
    

The Mock Service is not active until you run it. Click Run Mock Service to run it now, and see Running a Mock Service for next steps.

1. Click the Mock Services tab.
   
2. Click Mock Services at the top of the page.
   
3. Click Add new mock service.
   
   A new row is added to the top of the Mock Services list.
4. Enter a name for your Mock Service in the Mock Service Name field.
5. Select the Service that contains the Transactions for your Mock Service.
6. Select the location that you want to deploy your Mock Service to from the Location drop-down.
   • Unless you plan to run the Mock Service in a private location, select Cloud Provider > Cloud.
7. Select either HTTPS or HTTP from the Endpoint drop-down.
   • The default is HTTPS.
8. Click the arrow next to the Mock Service name to expand the details for the Mock Service.
   
9. (Optional) Enter a description for your Mock Service.
10. Select the check box for each Transaction you want to include in your Mock Service and click the arrow to move them from the Other Transactions in Your Catalog to column and add them to the Transactions in This Mock Service.
    
    
    • You can search by tag or text in the Other Transactions in Your Catalogs column to find the Transactions you want to include.
    • Click the check box in the header to select all Transactions.
      Note: This check box selects all of the Transactions on the current page. It does not select all Transactions in the Service.
11. Click the Parameters tab.
12. In the No Matching Requests field, choose the correct logic for when a request against the Mock Services does not match any of the provided transactions. The request can either throw an error or be redirected to the live service.
13. Set the Think Time in milliseconds to control the amount of time spent between when the Mock Service receives a request and returns a response. The default is 0, but you can update the field to simulate delayed responses.
14. Click Save.
    Your Mock Service is saved and added to the list of available Mock Services.

The Mock Service is not active until you run it. Click Run Mock Service to run it now, and see Running a Mock Service for next steps.

Create a Mock Service from a Mock Service Template

At any time after saving the Template, click Create Mock Service to the right of the Template name to dynamically provision a Mock Service that includes the transactions in the Template.
