• This solution file will open the SnowplowTracker library in your editor.
• Build files will output to bin/Debug or bin/Release depending on your configuration.
• Built DLLs will also be copied on successful builds to the Demo and Test projects Assets folders.

Setting up a Test Endpoint

host$ vagrant up && vagrant ssh
guest$ cd /vagrant
guest$ mb &
guest$ curl -X POST -d @/vagrant/Resources/imposter.json http://localhost:2525/imposters

The test collector to use: http://localhost:4545

Now open Mountebank in your browser (on host is fine):

• http://localhost:2525

Testing Framework
