Our development team is developing a service (NOT web enabled) to support our web enabled application. I test the web part with Selenium/JUnit/Eclipse/Java.
I was wondering if there is anyway to use Selenium-Server / Selenium to test a service that is not web enabled?
Anyone ever attempted?
Thank you.
Selenium isn't for testing services, its for testing web GUIs
If it's not web-enabled then how will you access the service ?
Look at soapui for web service testing

Is it possible to use the ctrl-m Automation API when I have a Web Service as a job type?
I looked on the reference below and I don't see the option for web services
https://docs.bmc.com/docs/automation-api/monthly/job-types-932197928.html
Thanks!
web services are not supported yet in Control-M Automation API.
I have a .Net Nuget Package that works on a .NET Core Web API Service when it is proxied by my API Management Server. I would like to setup some automated testing of this service to be run when I run my builds.
Normally, when I want to run a service to be seen from other computers, I host it in IIS. But I would rather not have to have IIS up and running on my build servers.
I am wondering, is there a simple way to host a .Net Core Web API Service that can just run in-memory? (Similar to the way NodeJs can be run) I understand that Kestrel is used under the hood for ASP.NET Core. Maybe it be setup to do that?
NOTE: Because this will be proxied by my API Management Server, it need to be accessible by other servers on my network. (Not just localhost.)
Kestrel is the simplest way you can use to achieve, you can config kestrel to enable it listening to remote request, see this document
I was reading this article in looking for differences between creating an API using WebAPI and MVC and came across this statement:
In simple load testing on my local machine, I’ve found that Web API
endpoints hosted in console apps are nearly 50% faster than both
ASP.NET controller actions and Web API endpoints hosted within MVC
projects.
As such, I'm interested in how this would take shape in a production environment.
Obviously I'm looking for performance, so I looked into OWIN and self-hosting. However I'm not clear on if this offers the same efficiency as the console app discussed above.
Can someone please explain the proposal of hosting an API console application for consumption in a production environment - i.e. how would you connect a URL to the console app, etc.?
Thanks.
My understanding is self hosted OWIN apps can be run within any kind of app domain e.g console, windows forms, windows service, AWS EC2, Azure Worker Role etc. The application you should run it in is dependent upon the hosting environment you choose, there are lots of options.
i would like to perform webservices testing( WSDL or REST Services) using selenium , ca anyone help me with this?
Don't use Selenium to test these things. Selenium is useful for automating the UI that interacts with said REST or WSDL services. It (Selenium) should not be used for automating the services themselves.
Instead, use something like jMeter, SoapUI or even curl
I'm working on a web application that I need to Integrate with Jira bug tracking tool. I have successfully integrated with the applications hosted at jira, but now I have to integrate with the JIRA hosted on other server (not the .atlassian ones).
The hosted solution will have the same capabilities as a REST API. So just point to the appropriate URL and it should work.
If you are just trying to integrate with the REST API, just try hitting it to see if its enabled.
If it isn't enabled, make sure the 'Allow Remote API Calls' is turned ON under Administration > General Configuration.
