<p>Because MockServer records every request it forwards <strong>and the response the upstream returned</strong>, in proxy mode you can verify both sides of an interaction: that your system made the expected calls, and that the dependency replied as expected. Verifying the proxied <strong>responses</strong> &mdash; by status code, headers, and body &mdash; is the headline advantage of proxying through MockServer over an assertion-only test, letting you assert against real upstream behaviour. See <a href="#verifying_responses">Verifying Responses</a> below for that; the sections before it cover verifying the requests themselves.</p>
