[Hawkular-dev] Ways to Test Availability Down?

[mike thompson]

I guess this question is mainly targeted to Hawkular QE. So all of my testing (especially on a dev box) shows availability 100% (as most sites will). So while I can mock this in code to show downtime and unknown. It appears that we need a consistent way to demonstrate up/down/unknown/whatever else. Is there a QE way to do this currently?

I’m thinking a mock site that changes states every 5 or 10 minutes that is publicly available. This way we could all link our integration tests to this site to provide full coverage of states(and there could be other availability states like I have mentioned in other Hawkular ML mails).

The use case I want to add is as a developer I want to test all availability states within a half hour (or whatever timeframe, but as everything waits on tests passing less is better) by pulling in certain site(s).

Ideas?
