如何通过命令行调用asp.net Web应用程序？

Question

We have an internal asp.net web application which users can configure and execute automated tests. I'd like to be able to launch tests with is application but from a remote command line console or other non browser way. The goal is to be able to launch tests without user interaction. Any ideas how to do this without a high impact on the existing solution? Thanks in advance, John

The solution to my problem was Web API. I found a way to do exactly what I wanted by adding a few simple files to the asp.net application and then calling it using PowerShell's Invoke-RestMethod.
