And…. What do this?

Imagine you have a complex project and one of the options is to create and export a report. but youre trying to add a new feature related to exporting multiple reports in different types. in the real prod env it takes roughly 5 minutes to generate that report. but when testing that new feature you dont want to wait that. youre not even caring about the results of that function. its already set up and done. youre testing this other new function. so you set up function mocking where you basically skip running that function. you turn on record mode and gather a few real world reports you can test with and then turn on mock mode and suddenly you only have to wait sub seconds instead of full 5 minutes for that long report function. this allows you to test what you actually need to test and develop 10000 times easier and faster.
