Command-Line tool for testing Web Services

The free SOAPbox tool includes a command-line interface, called SR ("Send Request") which allows you to script the load-testing of a Web Service. You can use SR to send multiple requests to a Web Service, to simulate multiple clients, to connect through a HTTP Proxy, to send SOAP attachments to Web Services, and to vary XML message traffic. To learn about SOAPbox, press F1 on SOAPbox's install page and then check out the SR examples, or run SR -h from the command line.

Get SOAPbox (including SR) from http://www.vordel.com/products/soapbox/
