A method and apparatus for representing Web service activity utilizes a user interface. Components of the user interface present a changing graphical feature based on an activity indicator of the associated web service. The components may vary color or text indicators. Activity indicators may include loading of the Web service object or other states and activities of interest.

Method and system for representing Web service activity through a user interface

Disclosed are systems and methods for testing a network service. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to intercepting a message sent by a network service under test and directed another network service, determining whether the message should be redirected to a mock network service that emulates operation of the other network service, and redirecting the message to the mock network service if it is determined that the message should be so redirected.

Systems and methods for testing network services

Disclosed are systems and methods for testing a network service. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to sending an initial request to the network service, redirecting a related request sent by the network service to an actual network service such that the related request does not reach the actual network service, emulating operation of the actual network service, and returning at least one response to the network service being tested, the at least one response being responsive to the related request.

Systems and methods for testing a network service

To facilitate the testing of a testee network service such as a web service made available on the Internet, various embodiments of a network service test system are provided. In one embodiment, a testee network service is tested using a network service test environment. The network service test environment surrounds the testee network service. The network service test environment comprises at least one mock client that is in data communication with and interacts with the testee network service. The network service test environment also includes at least one mock support network service in data communication with the testee network service. The at least one mock support network service simulates a performance of an actual support network service while a data communication link exists between the actual support network service and the testee network service.
