Web Service Test Client

The Web Service Test Client makes it quick and easy to make test REST or SOAP calls to a Web Service.

Simply select the OpenAPI (Swagger) or WSDL URL, pick the web method from the list provided, amend any values in the generated REST or SOAP request, and view the results in the appropriate graphical JSON Editor or XML Editor.

The Web Service Tests can also be saved to file in order to be run at a later time, e.g. in a batch process.

Testing a Web Service API

The intuitive wizard driven user interface makes it easy to select an OpenAPI (Swagger) or WSDL web service descriptor, choose a web Service API method, and run a test.

Test results are then displayed in the appropriate graphical JSON Editor or XML Editor, and saved to disk for comparison with the expected results.

The tests can be saved to file, so they can be re-used later either from within Liquid Studio or from a command line or batch process, making this a very useful tool for Web Service testing and development environment.

Details of the HTTP call are also written to the Output Window so you can see precisely what was sent to the server and any error response information returned.

The Web Service Explorer window displays a tree of Web Service APIs for all connected Web Services. This can also be used to quickly create Web Service Connections and Web Service API tests.

REST Web Service Testing

Once a web method is selected, the tool automatically generates sample JSON or XML REST request message data based on the description within the OpenAPI (Swagger) definition. You can then change this request, adding in your own values.
