Web Services Description Language: What Is An XML?

Web services allow applications from different sources and programming languages to communicate via XML messages over a network. A WSDL file describes the capabilities and communication endpoints of a web service. XML is used to develop web services and encode request/response messages that are sent via SOAP, a lightweight XML messaging protocol, in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment. Testing web services requires information like the WSDL URL, framework, endpoints, authentication details, certificates, input parameters, sample requests/responses, test data, hit counts and user loads. Web services can be scripted in LoadRunner by importing the WSDL, XML directly, or building a custom request, with common issues around security, authentication and certificates. Captured values

1) What is a web service?

Web services allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding, and because all communication is in XML, Web services are not tied to any one operating or programming language.

2)

What is a WSDL? Web Services Description Language, an XML-formatted language used to describe a Web service's
capabilities as collections of communication endpoints capable of exchanging messages.

3)

What is an XML?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a language used to develop a web service.


4) What is SOAP?

Simple Object Access Protocol, a lightweight XML-based messaging protocol used to encode the information in Web service request and response messages before sending them over a network.
5) What is SOA environment?

The environment which uses web services to communicate with various different application is know as SOA
6) What kind of information do you need for web services testing?

WSDL locations(URL) or XML request Is the web services developed in .NET or JAVA framework Target end URL address. Are we using any kind of user authentication if yes i need username, password and port number Are we using any kind of client side certificates if yes please provide them Input Parameters for XML call Sample Request and Sample Response Test Data for testing No of hits Simultaneous Users

7) What are various ways of scripting a web service in vugen? 1 way is import the WSDL file in to the Vugen and then enter the parameters to the request nd 2 way is to import the XML call directly and parameterize the input paramters rd 3 we can build our own custom request and insert the xml call in the body section. 8) What kind problems did you face during scripting? Lot of times in web service you face issues due to security, authentication and certificates. I generally overcome this problem using functions like web_set_user, Web_set_certificate 9) How did you caputure values in web service? I would use functions like lr_XML_get_values to capture values and store it in a parmeter.
