Rust Dublin March Remote Meetup - Luca Palmieri

Hello Rustaceans of Fair City,

This month the one and only Luca Palmieri will kindly present us a very exciting talk!

wiremock-rs - Black-box testing for Rust applications

Black-box testing is a killer approach to verify the behaviour of an application.
The underlying principle is simple: tests should interact with the application only via its public interface - no backdoors. For a backend service, that public interface is a (REST or gRPC) API.

Although it sounds great in theory, practice is a bit trickier: applications often interact with one or more dependencies over the network - e.g. databases, other REST or gRPC APIs.
How can we run our test suite in isolation without having to mess around with the internals of our application under test?

The talk will give you an overview of `wiremock`, a Rust crate for HTTP mocking - one of the possible solutions to the dependency dilemma.

See you all there!
