How one tests http requests in iOS 8?

In ruby I used to test http requests with vcr gem which recorded the request so the tests didn't send request to real host. Is there anything like this in iOS8 world? The requests I want to test really need to be recorded since those requests may be outdated in some time and will return some other response

P.S. It would be great if it was some default Apple/iOS approach/library like XCTest for testing in general
