I've done something along these lines before.

If a file (tmp/warren.test iirc) existed then the adapter read it and returned 
the data in it as a response instead of connecting to the service (RabbitMQ in 
this case.)

Was to work around running a separate server for cucumber using 
culerity/celerity if I remember rightly. Couldn't mock the adapter, but could 
have any response returned we wanted to at the time this way.
