Generate a Web Service

You can create a Web Service (XML) test case. Use the Web Service Execution (XML) step to call web service operations in a test case and test the response and request. These web service operations provide the same functionality as the equivalent method calls in the EJB used in Tutorial 7. For more information about the Web Service Execution step, see Web Service Execution (XML) Step in Using CA Application Test.

Ensure you are running the demo server to use this step.

Generating a web service includes the following steps:

1. Create the Web Service (XML) Step
2. Create the Web Service Client
3. Execute the Test Case

Create the Web Service (XML) Step
