Desktop Application for AsyncApi simulator

[NektariosFifes]

I am planning to use the simulator in order to make a cross platform desktop application for testing the reliability of asynchronous backend systems. The application will ask for a asyncApi file to function. With the asyncApi being the source of truth for the backend system that needs to be tested, the application will provide a UI for defining complex testing scenarios as well as send requests to individual channels for protocols such as mqtt kafka .etc .

Hi @NektariosFifes !

I was wondering if you had a look at Microcks.io (on https://github.com/microcks organization)?

Don't know what you have in mind in details but Microcks seems to cover some of your concerns:

• AsyncAPI spec as first-class citizen and source of truth,
• Ability to simulate an API and send mock messages on Kafka topics, MQTT queue or via WebSocket endpoints,
• Ability to test that an existing API topic / queue / destination / endpoint is conform to schema infos from AsyncAPI spec,
• Cross-platform and deployable on desktop through containers & docker-compose

There's always room for enhancements though and we welcome contributions through ideas, code, doc or whatever! Feel free!
