What is a stub?

A stub is a technical component that simulates a specific environment or service to allow partners to test and validate the interoperability of their systems before full integration. It is a simplified version of a service or interface that mimics the behavior of a real service but does not necessarily handle all functionalities or processes.

Stubs enable Playground participants to test different implementations or features by simulating interactions with other entities without requiring that all parties be fully set up. Stubs are used to facilitate the testing process before moving to real tests, particularly in the context of validating systems through peer-to-peer testing, thus ensuring the interoperability and compliance of different systems within the digital identity ecosystem.

Additional stubs will be available soon. If you're interested, you are encouraged to add your own stubs to the Playground. Please refer to this page for more details: (Ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre) https://bac-a-sable.sites.beta.gouv.fr/cms-admin/pages/517/edit/preview/.
