Testing of what?
How are you manually testing now?

An automated testing tool.

| Good question, I'm looking to have tests run against REST API's during our deployments, I was hoping there was a tool that would interrogate an IIB Flow and build a test harness for us. Maybe stub out any production services we are trying to connect to, so we can use dummy data. For unit testing we are using ReadyAPI. |

There's no difference between a REST API hosted by IIB and a REST API hosted by any of the other relevant technologies. Anything which can introspect a non-IIB hosted API should have no trouble introspecting an IIB hosted one.
So your question becomes "how do people test REST APIs", and we use Katalon, JMeter & SoapUI depending on testing use case. We also have LoadRunner hanging round from the old days.

Again, there's no difference between stubbing / mocking / virtualizing prod services for IIB and other software. We use CALisa exclusively for these tasks.

As an aside, most of this is built into the Continuous Delivery / Continuous Integration pipeline for easy consumption by developers.

I used to love the Load Runner cartoons on Saturday mornings.

One of the reasons we deprecated the tool is that the testing team got sick of people going "Beep, beep"

And don't forget the ubiquitous postman [no affiliation or commercial interest in the tool]
