Testing WCF Services

Hi

I need to test WCF services using SOAP/LOADUI but then found a post which said
"I suppose your WCF service is configured with basicHttpBinding? SoapUI does not like very much the wsHttpBinding and all the rest of the other WCF bindings

Read more: http://www.marcusoft.net/2010/03/soapui ... z1MoSMW97s

I don't know what httpbindings actually are, that's beyond me, but I'm now concerned that SOAP/LOADUI is not suitable for testing WCF services? Is this true or can someone clear up my confusion?

Thanks

    Hi Andy!

    SoapUI, and vicariously also loadUI, supports WCF services that uses BasicHttpBinding (as opposed to WsHttpBinding). You can read about the differences here.

    The developers of the WCF service probably knows if it's using BasicHttpBinding or WsHttpBinding. Luckily, it's easy to switch between the two bindings.


    Hope this helps
