Action Steps

Identify the API endpoints to simulate using tools like Postman or cURL
Create a mock API using a library like Mocky or JSONPlaceholder to return predefined responses
Configure the test environment to use the mock API instead of the real one
Write tests that interact with the mock API to ensure correct behavior
Verify the test results to ensure the mock API is working as expected
