Web Service Unit Tester
I am been looking for a solid and easy to use tool that will allow me to test web services in a fairly raw fasion. To date I haven’t found anything meeting those requirements. So with that I am going to see if I can generate some interest in the community to develop such a tool. I have been working on a small thick client Java app that does everything I need at a basic level, and there are some things that could be modified to make it much more productive.
Here is the zip file which contains WSUnitTest.jar and WSUnitText.bat. Upzip to your prefferred location and execute the WSUnitTest.bat file.

Nice tool, but pretty raw..
I have been fooling around lately with Oracle’s SOA suite. While it is not the best SOA offering (am being polite ;P ) it contains something called OWSM – Oracle web services manager.
It is a product developed by the late Oblix company, and it has the greatest web services testing tool that I’ve seen.
I will have to check out OWSM sometime. Thanks for the comments Shalom. Is there a particular feature in other tools that you would like to see in the Web Service Tester?
on a Macintosh, try Soap Client. Really robust and capable
Hi Tim,
I actually have found SOAPUI (www.soapui.org) to be the client side editor of choice when I want to do SOAP/WSDL related stuff. But I will check out SOAP Client over lunch some day. Thanks for mentioning that and check out SOAPUI yourself if you haven’t yet.
I found fiddler really useful for testing our RPG CGI code. Have a look at http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
