2 options, register the mocked services through DI and then the new client will just grab the mocked ones automatically, or just instantiate the client with you providing the mocked versions yourself

because like me and @Pope said, you're adding a lot of latency to the tests, so if you want to automate them (include in your CI/CD) it'll slow things down substantially, you also can't just set breakpoints in the API to help debug since it's running somewhere remotely

anyway @Mango you can start by adding a reference to the client/UI in your xunit project, then make use of its client to make API calls and assert on the responses
