(September 11, 2002) - Segue Software is currently offering a free tool for testing Web services by just providing the WSDL file or testing .NET components (dll). All based on an easy-to-use visual approach.
Called "SilkPerformer .NET Explorer," what Segue is offering is a tool that allows you to rapidly test .NET components and W3C-compliant Web services...all without requiring that you understand what they do, what they look like, or even how they work. "You don't even need to have programming knowledge," Steve Butler, president and CEO of Segue Software, tells .NET DJ News Desk.

According to Butler, all you have to do is create visual test scenarios with a point and click interface – and you will, he insists, be "ready in seconds."

> SilkPerformer .NET Explorer offers added value when it is used in conjunction with SilkPerformer V's .NET Framework. Integrated with SilkPerformer V, it allows input parameters to be parameterized. Verification checks defined in .NET Explorer will then be executed even under load, and the results can then be analyzed via TrueLog. This, Butler asserts, is what makes it an excellent tool for generating .NET component and Web service test drivers. http://www.segue.com
