An Introduction to Mocking Tools for Elixir
This one is interesting. Since plug and cowboy make it really easy to roll out an HTTP server, instead of mocking out the HTTP Client, we can start our own server during tests and respond with stubs instead.

How to ignore a child of a Supervisor not being able to start during tests?
In order to do this you may use mock (which is simple to use), mox (they have pretty compelling arguments why not to mock traditionally), or specifically for http requests, bypass.
