Open Source Web Services Software

Zuul is an L7 application gateway that offers many capabilities, including dynamic routing, monitoring, security, resiliency and more. It is used in the backend of the Netflix streaming service as a front door for all requests from devices and web sites. Zuul is ideal for cases like this where API traffic volume and diversity can become overwhelming and cause production issues to arise suddenly and without warning. Zuul has a broad range of filters that enable it to perform multiple functions quickly and apply functionality to services like Netflix. These functions include security authentication, dynamic routing, stress testing, load shedding and more.

Headless Chromium-based modular web performance metrics collector. Modular approach, each metric is generated by a separate "module". phantomas "core" acts as an events emitter that each module can hook into. In-depth metrics such as: number of events bound via jQuery, calls to window.writeor complex and duplicated CSS selectors (via analyze-css). JSON as an output format. Easy integration with other nodejs projects via CommonJS module (see API docs). Metrics can be emitted from the JavaScript code of the page phantomas is run against (thanks to helper functions available in window.__phantomas). Device profiles allow phantomas to emulate mobile or tablet (by setting a proper user agent and viewport). phantomas comes as a CommonJS module that you can use in your nodejs projects. Use grunt to automate daily dev tasks, including your's application web performance.

The SoapUI download has moved to https://www.soapui.org/downloads/soapui/source-forge.html With more than 9 million downloads SoapUI is the de-facto standard for REST and SOAP API functional, security and performance testing.

Fronsetia (Free Online Service Testing Application) is a Java web application that allows testing webservices (REST and SOAP). No end-user installations required, just deploy the application on your server and pass the link so that users can use their usual browsers to access Fronsetia. You can think of Fronsetia as a simple version of SoapUI on the web, or a simple and free and open-source version of the "wls_utc" utility. See the project homepage https://fronsetia.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above.

Maximo SOAP WebService Tester (Windows) Source: https://github.com/SVSagi/mxwst

A little super-simple but powerful soap client that offers an easy way to send soap request to a server (from file or stdin), test server robustness by sending same request on multiple threads and eventually see the whole http conversation. If you need a quick and easy way to do soapcalls from your terminal or script, this tool is for you.

AceJudge is a system for managing programming contests. AceJudge's basic features include automatic judging of submitted programs, answering to clarification questions about problem descriptions, reevaluation of programs, real time ranking etc.

Lightweight runtime monitor for AJAX web applications that checks in real time whether XML messages received and sent by the application satisfy a predefined interface specification. Complex message sequences and data values are supported.

A suite of HTTP conformance tests, mainly aimed at enforcing baseline functionality for the SimpleTest web test client.

Gefira is an umbrella project for various opensource-related projects, usually backend or middleware oriented.

A general purpose API tester GUI. You can specify a URL and send GET or POST requests to it as a client with an interface allowing you to setup a database of API commands and their parameters. Useful for probing 3rd party APIs, or building your own.

A distributed logging & monitoring WS architecture using WS-Notification (WSN) as well as a Log4J appender that implements an appropriate adapter. Software components that already use Log4J can be integrated non-intrusively.

Simple J2EE webapp that acts as a SOAP proxy, validating XML content of incoming requests and outgoing responses. Configure : add your configuration dynamically from a simple page. Check : display the last results of transiting SOAP messages.

Test Case Management and Execution Tool supports testers during design, execution and monitoring of data-driven test cases for testing business processes, described with Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).

Sometimes I just need to be quickly able to send and receive soap over HTTP requests and responses. Even though SoapUi from eviware is perfectly fitted for the job, I somtimes feel that it is too slow and uses too much memory for the job I would like to do. So far, the program sends/receive requests from file and pretty prints the response.

A web app that can route, record and mock web service calls. Designed for testing systems that depend on web services that are intermittent. Especially ideal for continuous integration testing.
