This can be done both Manual or Automatic.

Manual: Use XML Spy to check Request and corresponding Respond XML.

Automatic: Use SOAP UI

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...

A web service is typically an application programming interface (API) or Web API that is accessed via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and executed on a remote system, hosting the requested service. Web services tend to fall into one of two camps: big web services and RESTful web services. Here Service Requester send the inputs as xml via SOAP. WSDL acts as a Service Broker with standard customized format and response the request for the following inputs.
