Answer / vishal

You can test Web services by calling Web methods from unit
tests. Testing Web services is much like testing other code
by using unit tests in that you can use Assert statements,
and the tests produce the same range of results. However,
the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Web
namespace of Team Edition for Testers provides attributes
and methods specifically for testing Web services; they are
described in Testing a Web Service Locally.

Example :
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Web;
using TestProject1.localhost;

[TestMethod]
[AspNetDevelopmentServer("HelloWorldServer", @"C:\Documents
and Settings\user\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\WebSites\WebSite1")]
public void HelloWorldTest()
{
HelloWorldService target = new HelloWorldService();

Assert.IsTrue( WebServiceHelper.TryUrlRedirection
(
target,
testContextInstance,
"HelloWorldServer"
),
"Web service redirection failed."
);

string expected = "Hello World";
string actual;

actual = target.HelloWorld();

Assert.AreEqual(
expected,
actual,

"TestProject1.localhost.HelloWorldService.HelloWorld did not
return the expected value."
);
}

I am not getting exact answer for ues of web services testing.
Please correct me if i am wrong
