Free XML Application Testing Tools

Following tools will help to test the sample XML applications.

 

Kernow 1.6

 

(http://kernowforsaxon.sourceforge.net/)

    XML Schema

                          Testing schemas is fun

    XQuery

                          Helped me a lot while I was creating XQuerys for Oracle OSB 10gR3 project for messaging between SAIP

                         (SOAP based client) and Oracle Beehive (RESTFul based service provider).
                          However for XML Schema based programs  I had to switch back to JDeveloper. As it ask to
                         upgrade inbuilt SAXON to validating SAXON parser.

    XSLT

                        Running XSLT program against a XML in sandbox mode
                        is real fun. Supports Saxon extensions with EXSLT
                        extensions.

Mozilla based RESTTest

 

                          Quick and easy way to test RESTFul based web service providers.
                          Truly amazing implementation on apache HTTPClient, I suppose.
