SOAP?
• SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol

• SOAP is used for binding between applications
• SOAP is a format for message communication
• SOAP provides communication via Internet
• SOAP does not depend on the platform
• SOAP does not depend on the language
• SOAP is based on XML
• SOAP is easy and extendible

SOAP?
<soap:Envelope mlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope"
soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding">
<soap:Header>

</soap:Envelope>
SOAP specification defines an XML- “envelope” for message communication

UDDI?
UDDI system (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration ) allows

companies to make their web-service available to the public
And what to test?
Business logic. We test to meet the requirements
Standards compliance, if one has used a nonconventional

platform.
Interfaces. Validators and data converters.
Error handling
Why is automation needed?
In most cases GUI is not provided
Reduces the time for testing easy scenarios
Regressive testing has not been cancelled by anyone
Irreplaceable when carrying out load-testing

To sum up:
The strategy of testing web-services does not differ in any way from testing other
products
Automation is the matter of importance here considering the absence of the user

Any means of automation can suit, it is to your choice which one is better
