WCF Service Testing

Question

How can I test a WCF Service?

I tried soapUI, it works but I don't feel PRO when using third-party software when Visual Studio may have something to solve this problem.

I saw once, an web api stuff (don't really remember) that has a built-in client. And that was awesome!

Is there a way to have such a client on a WCF Service (file.svc) or test by adding some query string to the URL?

Something Like this:

http://localhost:56458374/Service.svc/Operation?value1=5&value2=6

Answer 1

You can always open up a project (unit test project) and add a reference to the WCF service - VS generates a fully functional client for you which you can then use for tests anyway you want.

Another option: Depending on the data types you use in the Service (not all are supported like Stream etc.) you can use the WCF Test Client .

Answer 2

WCF Test Client should you let you do that. In fact if you create a new project based on the WCF template. Hitting F5 will automatically do it
