In some situations, the UI5 mock server can't be used and a real mock server is required to run the tests. Unfortunately, ui5-test-runner relies on its own web server (in particular to enable code coverage by substituting source files). If the mock server supports CORS and the application can redirect the backend calls to it easily, that's OK but, otherwise, ui5-test-runner must provide a way to redirect some calls transparently to the mock server.
