(content is irrelevant on status codes matter so should be easy). This way we could expect http status codes to change every 5 minutes: '12:00' -> ‘up’, 12:05 -> ‘down’, ’12:10’ -> ‘unknown’. So that it changes in a predictable way.

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?
Anyway, just an idea…
Obviously, if this idea is legit, it can expanded in may different ways down in the future.
