We natively handle API and DB calls.

This is a bit tricky. We run the same test multiple times, and ignore the changing fields.

We anonymise *any* private data before storing it for replay.
> 5. Authentication
We capture auth headers, and mock auth server responses.

Currently yes. APIs can be easily tested. Tests for function calls will require user configuration.
- quickthrower2 4y agoThanks, they are great answers. I think as always you can’t expect to magically throw a test tool at the application. You need some effort to make it testable. Moving out auth and anything else stateful to another service that can be mocked helps.
