What is Mountebank?

As per mbtest.org "_mountebank is the first open source tool to provide cross-platform, multi-protocol test doubles over the wire. Simply point your application under test to mountebank instead of the real dependency, and test like you would with traditional stubs and mocks_"

In short mountebank is a open source service virtualisation tool . Mountebank uses imposters to act as on demand test doubles. Hence our test cases communicate to Mountebank and mountebank responds back with relevant stubs as defined.
