Testing for XML applications

Vordel SOAPbox allows developers to test the performance, scalability, and security of Web Services. Using SOAPbox, a developer can test how Web Services perform under load, how they deal with unexpected input, and what their traffic ceiling is.

Vordel SOAPbox highlights security tokens, XML Signatures, and encrypted content in XML documents. SOAPbox supports established security technologies such as SSL and HTTP-Auth, as well as next-generation security technologies such as WS-Security and SAML.

Stress test your Web Services
How do your Web Services perform under stress? What are your Web Service's traffic ceilings? What happens when they receive more traffic than they can cope with? Vordel SOAPbox answers these questions with comprehensive Web Services stress testing.

Traffic simulation to test your application infrastructure
Use SOAPbox to create and run your own battery of tests against internal application servers and ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) platforms.

Sample SOAP messages
Get started quickly with pre-built SOAP messages provided as standard.

Broad Security Standard support
SOAPbox creates signed and encrypted XML messages without any requirement for coding. It supports SSL, WS-Security, and SAML.

Test Federated Identity deployments
SOAPbox creates all three types of SAML assertions in order to test them against Federated Identity infrastructure. Creating SAML assertions using SOAPbox is significantly more simple than using a programming toolkit for the same purpose.

Test XML, REST, or SOAP
Non-SOAP Web Services can be tested using SOAPbox (despite its name!). In addition, Web Services which are called using directly by browsers or using the XMLHttpRequest object can also be tested using SOAPbox.

SOAP Attachments
SOAPbox can be used to attach SOAP attachments to SOAP messages, simply and easily.

Simply, Graphical Keystore
Encryption key management is difficult using programming toolkits. SOAPbox makes key management into a point-and-click task using a graphical keystore. Users can load multiple keys and certificates without using command-line tools. With the keystore, it is possible to encrypt XML for multiple recipients in one simple step.

Add or Remove Security Tokens
Automatically remove WS-Security security tokens from messages so that you can quickly and simply move on to your next test.

Transfer Encoding
SOAPbox includes all the varieties of transfer encoding used by Web Services platforms.

Testing tool for Design-Time Governance
In an SOA Governance environment, SOAPbox allows for policies to be tested and refined at Design Time, before they are deployed. This allows for a virtuous circle of service definition, policy definition, policy testing, and policy refinement.
