Introduction of WebServices
Web services allow different software applications to communicate and share resources regardless of operating system or programming language. They use XML and open protocols like HTTP and SOAP. A web service is self-contained, self-describing application component that can be accessed over the web. WSDL describes the web service so clients know how to access it, while SOAP defines the message format for communication. Visual Studio provides tools to test web services by structuring test cases and suites, managing test requests and results, and automating validation.

- 2. 2 Introduction to WebServices Today, companies rely on thousands of different software applications each with their own role to play in running a business. These different software applications run on a wide range of different platforms and operating systems, and they are implemented in different programming languages. As a result, it is very difficult for different applications to communicate with one another and share their resources in a coordinated way.

- 4. 4 What are WebServices? Web services are application components Web services communicate using open protocols Web services are self-contained and self-describing Web services can be used by other applications XML is the basis for Web services
- 5. 5 Why Web Services? Interoperabilityhas highest priority. When all major platforms could access the Web using Web browsers, different platforms could interact. For these platforms to work together, Web applications were developed. Web applications are simple applications run on the web. These are built around the Web browser standards and can mostly be used by any browser on any platform. Web services take Web applications to the next level. Using Web services your application can publish its function or message to the rest of the world. Web services uses XML to code and decode your data and SOAP to transport it using open protocols. Web services have two types of uses. Reusable application components. Ideally, there will only be one type of each application component, and anyone can use it in their application. Connect existing software Web services help solve the interoperability problem by giving different applications a way to link their data. Using Web services you can exchange data between different applications and different platforms.
- 6. 6 The base ofWS • The basic Web services platform is XML + HTTP. • The HTTP protocol is the most used Internet protocol. • XML provides a language which can be used between different platforms and programming languages and still express complex messages and functions. Web services platform elements SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) WSDL (Web Services Description Language)
- 7. 7 What is SOAP? Thebasic Web services platform is XML plus HTTP. SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP is a communication protocol SOAP is for communication between applications SOAP is a format for sending messages SOAP is designed to communicate via Internet SOAP is platform independent SOAP is language independent SOAP is based on XML SOAP is simple and extensible SOAP allows you to get around firewalls SOAP will be developed as a W3C standard
- 8. 8 What is WSDL? WSDLis an XML-based language for describing Web services and how to access them. WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language WSDL is written in XML WSDL is an XML document WSDL is used to describe Web services WSDL is also used to locate Web services WSDL is not yet a W3C standard
- 9. 9 How to testa web service? As a web service is something that has no user interface, we can’t interact with it without a special tool. That tool should allow composing XML requests via its own user interface. Commonly such user interfaces are text editors where you write your XML requests and controls for posting requests to the server.
- 10. 10 How to testa web service? Project structure. As in every well-established testing activity, I’ve started with test specification. The main part of a test specification is test cases divided into test areas. Visual Studio allows structuring your test project into test suites (the same as test areas in my test specification) that contain test cases, which can contain test steps, you can add, modify, delete and change order of every item in the structure. Test cases. Visual Sdudio provides enough convenient tools to manage and run your test cases, and view result in test requests. Load Testing. You can perform Load Testing.
- 11. 11 How to testa web service? Automation. But what if your web service contains too many methods with too many input and output parameters? It may take several days for each complete test of your web service if your tool does not provide functionality to automate your testing. You can automate validation of your web service’s response against you input. You can automate the output of validation results into a file (which could be just a text file of HTML depending on your choice).

Netsoft shall be responsible for the developing a web service to generate result sets in response to queries from the Clear Spring widget. The widget shall make requests for rated games by specifying a keyword. The work performed by Netsoft USA shall encompass the following items: • Define the interface for the calls to be made by the widget • Define the result set format (XML) to be provided in response to widget calls • Provide a mechanism by which the number of results returned can be attenuated (limit the number of rows)
