SOAP

Introduction & Scope # When developing a new web service, you may need to do an initial spot test walk through the operations or try to break the service based on the permissible data type values. You could hand craft all the operations, with their respective arguments, into a handful of URLs but that would seem pretty inefficient. I found myself in a similar situation and wanted a programmatic way to walk through the service operations with a specific input data set. To be clear, I am not attempting to recreate a full web service testing application but rather a simple script to spot check responses and catch any bugs in a web service endpoint's handler.
