WCF Unit Test

Question

How to unit test WCF services? Any 3rd Party tools available?

Answer 1

If you want to test the actual running service then SoapUI is free and has some excellent features. The only caveat is that I have only tried it with the Basic HTTP binding.

Answer 2

I have seen SOA Test used to evaluate performance and scalability tests on WCF services, if this is what you seek. I have no information on cost or liscencing.

In our case, we captured the messages from our UI in order to perform automated testing.
