Abstract
A method is provided for simulating communication between a client system and application entity via an application interface, thereby enabling integration testing with a simulation apparatus. Data is transmitted from the simulation apparatus to the application entity via the application interface, and the simulation apparatus records outputs along with contexts and respective latencies. The client system transmits requests to the simulation apparatus which returns simulated responses based on the stored outputs having similar contexts, and with artificial latencies replicating the previously recorded latencies. Other events generated in the application entity may also be recorded and simulated accordingly. Reporting and analytical data may be provided to identify potential performance issues and other errors prior to direct integration of the client system and application interface.
