Article Name : | | TESTING WEB SERVICES – A CLIENT SIDE PERSPECTIVE | Author Name : | | PRASANTH YALLA AND L S S REDDY | Publisher : | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | Article Series No. : | | GRT-2849 | Article URL : | | | Author Profile View PDF In browser | Abstract : | | At times we don't have a specific testing strategy to consider the idea of testing web services but now a days so many tools which are available on-line. These tools may or may not concentrate on functional testing because there is no rule that we need to consider only functional testing; as it is only a part of the testing phenomenon. There is a tool called SoapUI which allows the user to work with the web services and to execute the test cases in a different environment. We need to believe that a web service does not have GUI and they use XML encoded data for communication. From client side testing it is very important because the test cases generated should be definitely in XML format. In this we define how to perform web service testing from client side, client file, implementation file, proxy class and a service locator file which talks about their respective tasks. We can describe these services by using a language called WSDL (Web Services Description Language). Moreover client side scripting is a collection of programs that are usually run at client side rather at server-side i.e web server. Client side scripts are java scripts because execution is done by the browser (client). Server side scripts are CGI scripts written in PHP, perl, ASP.net etc | Keywords : | | |
