ASMX Webservice Test tool

Question

Is there any simple tool to test ASMX webservices where I can provide the service URL, request XML and get back the result (xml stream in my case)

Answer 1

SOAPUI is a very comprehensive web test tool. Also you can look at firefox extension SOA Client .

Answer 2

Back in the days you could just visith the asmx url to get a simple IIS wrapper around the webservice as long as you are using primitive data-types in the functions.

Generating a winform application (or webform) that calls the webservice takes less about as much time as starting vs.net, why not just create a little test harness that way.
