Use cases

A common use for such a system is Testing Various layers of an application with the same code, as well as using different Layers of an Application for Setup/Teardown and for concise acceptance-tests.

A typical use case is Testing your modern html5 application. Such an application usually consists of different layers.

  1. the internal backend api
  2. a rest api
  3. a rich fronend
  4. apis that directly interact with other services the application uses

When doing test setup/teardown it is desirable to run against the fast backend api or rest API, while when running the actual acceptance/system tests it is more desirable to run against the rich user interface or the rest API
