Enable / disable mocks without removing them

[tillias]

Please consider possibility of enabling / disabling mocks without deleting them (both from UI and REST API)

This can be especially usefully for manual tests where people can simulate failure scenarios (e.g. some sub-system not available)

Good idea! We also have discussed previously about adding more generic chaos engineering features to Microcks like random delays or failures, random unavailability... Maybe implementing this feature could be thought of in a more global framework?

What do you think?

Sound good! Something like https://www.gremlin.com ?

Adding chaos engineering features would be awesome and it will distinguish Microcks from its alternatives! @lbroudoux is there any estimate of when such features will make it to development?
