Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality

Features	Benefits
A visual test editor delivering both high-level and detailed test views	No programming knowledge is necessary to create, comprehend, modify, and execute a functional test. A test is a sequence of invocations of Web services operations; no code editing is necessary to create a single or multi-user test. However, deeper detail is available — advanced users have access to all aspects of the Web services messages, including HTTP headers, cookies and SOAP envelope.
Agile and Incremental testing	Service Stubbing with Rational Service Tester enables the testing of your SOA application prior to the creation of all services. Stubs are automatically generated from WSDL files and will be automatically deployed before test execution. After the generation of service stubs, the Visual Editor can be leveraged to modify stub behavior to meet specific testing scenarios. For example, simulation of error conditions such as an external service being unavailable or answering with a fault message are typical uses.
Two methods for test creation	Rational Service Tester features the Generic Service Client, which generates a GUI interface to your web service that allows you to connect to the service, invoke its functions, and capture the returned values from the service. For applications that already have a client to access their web service, Rational Service Tester offers a proxy recorder which is capable of recording the Web service calls sent from the client to the service and the responses sent from the service back to the client.
Understanding Data Relationships	Rational Service Tester provides automated data relationship management. This feature enables Rational Service Tester to maintain data relationships between service calls without requiring any mapping, test editing or other interaction from the user.
Increase service coverage with data driven testing	Rational Service Tester automatically parameterizes generated tests so that the same web service call can be validated with multiple sets of test data. Additional data is stored in a spreadsheet style table. This ensures maximum code coverage without having to modify any test code.
Test creation from WS-BPEL business processes	Automatically generate tests from business processes defined using the WS-BPEL standard from a range of generation possibilities. Allowing users to get started quickly with testing a complex business process and make sure all relevant paths are thoroughly tested.
Accelerate quality through test re-use	Rational Performance Tester Extension for SOA Quality can execute tests created with Rational Service Tester, executing them simultaneously to generate load. Re-using functional regression tests for performance testing purposes provide an excellent way for performance engineers to quickly establish system scalability.
Support for testing of services	Create, execute and analyze tests to validate the reliability of atomic or composite non-GUI headless services and business composition of those services.
Web services standards support	WSDL, SOAP, XML/XSD, JSON, HTTP(S), JMS, WebSphere MQ, WS-Security, Kerberos, NTLM, MIME, MTOM, DIME, Parlay X
Web service validation	Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality offers many options for validating web service responses, from static baselines to the use of regular expression patterns for validating dynamic data. These methods automatically parse Web service responses to ensure proper SOA functionality.
