API mocking made easy

A brand-new professional member course with José Carréra

TL;DR: We’ve just published a 12-lesson course for Professional Members: API mocking made easy. José Carrera walks you from the very first “Why bother mocking?” conversation to running Mockoon servers in CI, all without writing code.

Mockoon requires no coding at all, so it’s a quick and easy way to get your mocks running.
- José Carrera

So, what? External services and dependencies can be slow, flaky or unfinished, and that makes UI/E2E tests brittle. A realistic mock keeps your feedback loop fast and lets you hit edge-cases on demand. In short, mocks can give you better coverage, quicker pipelines, and fewer surprises.

Why bother?
In the course, you’ll:

  • Decide when to mock (and when not to).
  • Capture traffic and create a mock in one click.
  • Return any status code, randomised data, or custom latency on the fly.
  • Organise large mock suites with folders, sequential responses, and Git versioning.
  • Spin up Mockoon in CI so every branch gets the data it needs.

Each video lesson (8–30 min) ends on a hands-on activity for you to practice your skills and optional Club discussions with folks in the MoTaverse — learn, try, share.

What's more!

  • Expert voice: Every lesson comes straight from José’s day-to-day practice, packed with tips, tricks, and the pitfalls he learned to avoid.
  • Reusable sandbox: Clone José’s repo and keep it as your personal sandbox for future mock experiments.
  • Next-step roadmap: The final lesson helps you review your own test strategy, pinpoint where mocks will add the most value, and sketch a quick proof-of-concept you can take back to your team.
