SOAPUI may cover all needs required for a professional delivery in an integration project. However, there are a couple of tools that may be useful in some situations. These tools are as listed:
- CURL: This is a command-line tool to make requests using URL syntax. This will be useful, for instance, to perform a quick test over a REST API. For example, we can call a REST API called my1stAPI with the search operation from the command line using this command:
curl -v http://localhost:8280/my1stAPI/search
Many of the samples provided by WSO2 use curl to test them.
- TCPMon: This is another useful and simple tool that allows you to inspect and modify the raw HTTP request and response received in a port. This is quite useful to see what we are receiving and to check whether we are sending the information to the endpoint properly.
