I’m looking for a web service testing framework that has a good built in text input / output gui. The point would be for business and other non developer users to be able to test requirements by using a simple gui that they could enter values into and see the results from the web service. I have seen lots of references on Stack Overflow and the web to great developer web service testing tool but a nice, built in, I/O gui is the key feature for me.
By web service testing I mean a tool that sends xml post requests over HTTP and tests the response.
I have been trying out fitnesse but to use it I need to cut out parts of the system and I very much want to do end to end testing. The way fitnesse displays its results is great but the wiki data entry is a bit clunky for business users imo.
We use FitNesse for the most part. The developers maintain a fixture that s the connector between your app and the FitNesse server. The business user can write the test cases in an wiki style. Works fine for us.
Rational Functional Tester was in the discussion too. However, I have never seen it, but would have met our requirements too.
