How is web service testing similar to unit testing?


Asked by Malik Porter on Dec 14, 2021 Web Services



Web Service Testing is similar to unit testing in some cases. You can test a Webservice manually or create your own automation code or use an off-the shelf automation tool like Postman. Why is WebService Needed?
One may also ask,
Your web application is a bunch of small units working together; if you change one unit, something else can break as a consequence. Unit tests can automatically detect problematic parts of your code so you know where the problem is and what the correct behavior should be.
In fact, Ideally, the services are tested in isolation before being packaged as a service. However, sometimes people will want to test the "finished" or "integrated" web services technology stack because (I suppose) they don't trust their lower-level unit tests. Or they don't have effective lower-level unit tests.
Keeping this in consideration,
To test a web service Create a new web performance test. As soon as the browser opens, choose Stop. In the Web Performance Test Editor, right-click the web performance test and select Add Web Service Request. In the Url property of the new request, type the name of the web service, such as http://localhost/storecsvs/InstantOrder.asmx.
And,
Static testing involves verification, whereas dynamic testing also involves validation. Passive testing means verifying the system behavior without any interaction with the software product. Contrary to active testing, testers do not provide any test data but look at system logs and traces.
