How to test Web Services without passing WSDL

Hi,



You must provide the path to the WSDL when creating Web Service test item in order for TestComplete can create a supporting infrastructure that can be used in tests.

It is possible to craft requests and parse responses manually via code, but this is not convenient and will require a lot of extra efforts.

For testing REST services, please check out our dedicated web service testing tool SoapUI:

It's possible to call REST services from TestComplete using the XMLHttpRequest object, but be prepared to write some code. Here's an example:

Thanks Helen for reply. I will use this sample code and will let you know if face issue while implementing the same.



Thanks again.

Hi Helen



This sample code works for me but webservice is using authentication and that information is contain in Header part of the service containing the signature and timestamp information.



How to handle authentication part of the webservice.

Hi Harsh,



What kind of authentication is that (OAuth, Basic, Digest, etc.)? Can you post an example of a raw request with the Header value?
