It's +not easy to cover all of these states and responses manually. Some of them are +hard to reach or simulate without an elaborate test setup. + +Requirements +============ + +The implementation of synthetic errors should be as separate from production +code as possible, to avoid making the normal code paths unreadable. + + +Proposed Solution +================= + +Special taler:// URIs +--------------------- + +* ``taler://dev-experiment/$STATE_ID`` +* ``taler://pay/...?dev-experiment=`` + +Special http(s):// URIs +----------------------- + +* ``http(s)://*.dev-experiment.taler.net/`` + + * URLs for this subdomain are handled specially by the + wallet's HTTP layer and return fixed / mocked responses + instead of making real requests. + + +List of experiments +------------------- + + + +Alternatives +============ + +Drawbacks +========= + +Discussion / Q&A +================ + +(This should be filled in with results from discussions on mailing lists / personal communication.) |
