Wikipedia lists several tools used to virtualize services (create stubs). Some of them are purely focused on developers, some of them have GUIs and are more QA/tester friendly.

The ones that look QA friendly are:

  • IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server
  • CA Service Virtualization (formerly CA LISA)
  • Parasoft Virtualize
  • HP Service Virtualization
  • SoapUI

Is there any other tools that can be easily used by QAs that had no exposure to programming nor command line tools? Preferably tools with GUIs?

    Are you particularly asking for REST or other type of API testing tool? – saifur Mar 14 '15 at 18:54
  • @saifur mainly HTTP – Wojtek Mar 16 '15 at 16:11
  • Can't speak for the other tools, but I have used Parsoft tools in my previous job, and I would NOT recommend it. The virtualized component in particular was not intuitive to use. – HaC Nov 07 '17 at 08:07

There are at least 2 easy-to-use stub tools:

They both have GUI. Take a look.

You can have a look on Stubmatic. It let's you stub HTTP(s) services like SOAP or REST web services or any HTTP(s) call.

Why it is QA friendly? Because I created it for QAs only.

Starting with Stubmatic is just 3 steps task. Later on, you will have to map each request with response. Let me give you an example;

-  request:
      url: /stubs/(admin|staff|customer|security)

response:
      body: response line

For complex use you may require the knowledge of regular expressions.

There are a bunch of tools with GUIs mentioned in this comparison:

There are also a few more mentioned on Wikipedia:

CA Lisa & SOAP UI

Both don't need any programming skills.

Try with SOAP UI free version first, they have something like a mock service. Using it is pretty straight.
