Web services are important in many applications and their quality clearly underlies the quality of the web applications they support.

eValid tests of the application that uses the web services implictly tests those services, but that often is not enough "granularity" for some types of services.

In that case, we recommend the use of a simple HTML driver page that exposes the parameters that drive the web service and displays the responses that the web service generates.

In this way, testing of the web services is reduced to the same work as testing the web page that is the test bed for them.

This has the advantage that eValid now can deal directly with input values, validation of timing and performance properties, and checking of response values in a very orderly way.

In effect the eValid engine drives the web page that is the driver for the web service, effectively mapping the power of the eValid solution into the need for regression test (and even monitoring)of a web service function.

As you know there are many support facilities (e.g. WSDL converters) that assist in creating that web service test page.
