They are also called API mocking tools, service virtualization tools, over the wire test doubles and tools for stubbing and mocking HTTP(S) and other protocols. They enable component testing in isolation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annonacin | Annonacin is a chemical compound with toxic effects, especially in the nervous system, found in some fruits such as the paw paw, custard apples, soursop, and others from the family Annonaceae. It is a member of the class of compounds known as acetogenins. Annonacin-containing fruit products are regularly consumed throu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite%20element%20machine | The Finite Element Machine (FEM) was a late 1970s-early 1980s NASA project to build and evaluate the performance of a parallel computer for structural analysis. The FEM was completed and successfully tested at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The motivation for FEM arose from the merger of two con... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE%20802.21 | The IEEE 802.21 refers to Media Independent Handoff (MIH) and is an IEEE standard published in 2008. The standard supports algorithms enabling seamless handover between wired and wireless networks of the same type as well as handover between different wired and wireless network types also called Media independent hando... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical%20Heritage%20Library | The Medical Heritage Library (MHL) is a digital curation collaborative among several medical libraries which promotes free and open access to quality historical resources in medicine. The MHL is currently digitizing books and journals and is working to expand to the digitization of archival materials and still images.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfunction | In mathematics, hyperfunctions are generalizations of functions, as a 'jump' from one holomorphic function to another at a boundary, and can be thought of informally as distributions of infinite order. Hyperfunctions were introduced by Mikio Sato in 1958 in Japanese, (1959, 1960 in English), building upon earlier work ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny%20Haniver | A Jenny Haniver is the carcass of a ray or a skate that has been modified by hand then dried, resulting in a mummified specimen intended to resemble a fanciful fictional creature, such as a demon or dragon.
This practice dates back to the 16th century when these specimens were often sold as curiosities to sailors and c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A1CF | APOBEC1 complementation factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the A1CF gene.
Gene
Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three full-length transcript variants, encoding three distinct isoforms, have been described. Additional splicing has been observed but the full-length nature of these variants h... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyl%20transformation | See also Wigner–Weyl transform, for another definition of the Weyl transform.
In theoretical physics, the Weyl transformation, named after Hermann Weyl, is a local rescaling of the metric tensor:
which produces another metric in the same conformal class. A theory or an expression invariant under this transformation ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropyle%20%28zoology%29 | A micropyle is a pore in the membrane covering the ovum, through which a sperm enters.
Micropyles are also found in sporozoites of some digenetic microorganisms such as Plasmodium at the anterior part of the cell that ultimately leads towards the apical cap. Examples of other organisms that have micropyles are the Bomb... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamination | Transamination is a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids. This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesi... |
