Web services are a new breed of Web application. They are self-contained self-describing modular applications that can be published located and invoked across the Web. Web services perform functions which can be anything from simple requests to complicated business processes. Once a Web service is deployed other applications (and other Web services) can discover and invoke the deployed service.
You can test Web services by calling Web methods from unit tests. Testing Web services is much like testing other code by using unit tests in that you can use Assert statements and the tests produce the same range of results.
