Web Services testing is nothing, but testing the application. In this testing we just see whether the concept (functionality) of web services is working or not.

Functional Web Service testing can be used for a variety of purposes:
- Unit testing : validate that each Web Service operation functions as stated

- Compliance testing : validate that the Web Service returns results compliant with its definition

- Process testing : validate that a sequence of web service invocations fulfill a required business process

- Data Driven testing : validate that any of the above works as required with data input from external sources (for example a database or another web service). WEb Service

The Web services can be tested using the SOAPUI a freeware s/w. Please refer to the
www.soapui.org/userguide/functional/index.html

Webservice:

A Web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network.

How to test:

I've tested a web service called 'Soap server' in my project and it is worked as below.

-> first of request will send to service in XML format
-> Server is also respong to client in terms of XML

Ex:

Request:

<GIFTS_PAYLOAD><AUTHENTICATION><SC_CLIENT_ID>afasdfasdfasd</SC_CLIENT_ID></AUTHENTICATION></GIFTS_PAYLOAD>

Responce:

<GIFTS_PAYLOAD>
 <PARAMETERS>
  <ERROR>
   <ERROR_CODE><![CDATA[001]]></ERROR_CODE>
   <ERROR_LOCATION><![CDATA[Authentication Error]]></ERROR_LOCATION>
   <ERROR_MESSAGE><![CDATA[Authentication Failed. Unable to find the specified GUID in the SmartChange system. If the problem persists, please contact the SmartChange administrator.]]></ERROR_MESSAGE>
  </ERROR>
 </PARAMETERS>
</GIFTS_PAYLOAD>


So we can test a web service for negative scenarios and it's throwing the validation messages for invalid request...

To test the services, you create a client application and test all the available methods in the services by adding the service reference or adding a proxy in your references.  You will be testing all the accessible methods in the service by providing all possible input values and see if it provides a valid output.  

For eg. if the method is int a=sum(x,y).  You will be providing different inputs like positive, negative, 0 values for x and y and verify  if the output is still as expected.
