Microcks

GSMA, the global mobile industry body, has adopted the open-source tools Microcks and Keycloak to simplify testing of its large-scale telecom APIs. A CNCF case study describes how the setup turns complex, high-cost API testing into a fast, scalable developer sandbox, reducing reliance on costly environments and letting telecom developers work and iterate more quickly.

Destiny Erhabor, known as Caesarsage on GitHub, has been named a new code owner of the Microcks CLI, the open-source API mocking and testing project. The appointment follows his LFX mentorship with the project and a series of merged pull requests. He will take on responsibilities including issue triage, code reviews and release work, with details published in the Microcks community repository. The project team publicly congratulated him on the role.

The Microcks project has showcased a new extension for Microsoft's VS Code editor that brings API mocking, contract testing and drift detection directly into the IDE and CI pipelines. The demo highlights how developers can catch changes to API contracts before they reach production. Microcks is an open-source tool for API mocking and testing, and the extension aims to make those workflows more accessible to developers during everyday coding.
