Re: [Soaplite-devel] SOAP::Lite development - next release

Why not make the test suite have built-in test services, and completely a=
void external dependancies altogether. =20

If it was me, I'd make a "fake soap server" testing tool, that only knows=
 how to respond to one specific request with one specific "canned" respon=
se, and (in order to test alternate functionalities, I'd make the "canned=
 responses" exactly match those currently given by services like weather,=
 google, etc.   THis way, you get the tests against "external" systems (v=
ia their canned "known responses" saved to a local configuration) , and d=
on't rely on the 4external systems themselves being up.   It also means t=
hat the tests work behind big/secure firewalls and on off-line systems.

>=20

That's sort of the problem.  What is live, and what is going to be live=20
in perpetuity.

It's a trivial matter to test against local services, but more often=20
than not, I find services written in Java, C#, etc, to be incompatible=20
with the current SOAP::Lite implementation... And that just within my=20
organization.  :(

I found this...  http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/

I haven't looked at the test suite, so I'm not sure how many these are=20
actually being tested.
