Explorer and test Webservices

Case

I needed to explorer and test a corporate webservice. I needed to know which functionalities the webservice delivers, what kind of parameters the webservice expected and with what kind of responses the webservice replies.

Problem

The webservice wasn't documented and before a wanted to try to make a custom application I looked for a more dynamic solution. I didn't have the time to write a good testing program...

Solution

I learned that the awnser was pretty easy. Just use this handy tool: http://www.codeplex.com/WebserviceStudio

It allows you to explorer webservices easily!
