Make it possible to simulate an API when you want to limit access to the backend system for deveopers
Pretty often you have either sensitive data in your backend system OR you only have access to a production API OR you have connectivity issues to the backend system.
Furthermore, in Connect we have to develop apps in Dev for deployment to Test and Prod and thereby need to have connectors set up in all environments.
To mitigate this situation and to make it possible having Developers developing app on systems like those above, an API simulator would be a nice solution.
Suggestion to build support for API simulation like https://apisimulator.io.
ALSO, this would be very useful for our internal use
With the APi simulator we could create tests that can run without the need for a connection to a provider (IFS, M3 etc.) We could run these tests in the azure pipeline when releasing new versions, both service and built in. This would also be a very useful tool when investigating bugs, since we would be able to save server api calls from the api simulator in a yaml format, that we can then run in different versions of the connector in order to determine when and where the issues started.
