I have been recently added to a project where I will need to be doing functional and load testing for some existing Web Services (SOAP).
I was wondering if it is possible to call a web service from a console application for testing purposes? I do not have permissions to code in the existing Project so I need to create a new one, which is what my real issue is, I do not know how to call the web services (or the web service code) from outside of their Solution.
I know this will make things more difficult, especially for recording test results, but I have no choice as I am a contractor and can not get the required permissions. I can pull code and see the source code, I just don't want to code in the existing project as my local changes will get blown away every time there is new code to pull down.
I have done some basic testing using SoapUI, but the open Source version does not meet all the requirements I have and would rather just write my own tests then try and find a free 3rd party solution (as I also have no budget).
Thanks, cwlovell13
You can write a simple WCF client to consume existing Web Services (SOAP). Maybe you can reference this . Accessing Services Using a WCF Client
