Where should a software mock stop? (inspection result parsing)

I'm trying to develop our inspection result parsing application offline while the cell is unavailable. It normally uses Universal Robots UR5e in a fixture inspection station, with a reference housing as a reference. Our mock returns true for every method, keeping the screen happy without checking the interface properly. I need software response testing, with no claim to physical simulation.

Have you saved a documented SDK success and error response for the interface your screen uses? Start with those.

Yes. Replaying our saved error response reproduces a parser bug. The always-true mock sailed straight past it, naturally.
