If you are following our QAT Insights blog, you will already know that I am currently writing a series on web service testing with soapUI, an open source tool for web service testing (a commerical Pro version is also available). Today, many CA Gen application have to meet SOA or other data communication requirements that involve web services, so this may be of interest to you – especially, if you are publishing your own web services, for example by wrapping your CA Gen proxies.

The soapUI tool creates XML test requests based on the service’s WSDL (service definition). Fill in some data and you are ready to submit requests and look at the actual XML that returned from a service. You also can test standards compliance and create unit and load tests requiring very little specialized knowlegde.

So if you are using web service technologies, take a look!
