Using this comprehensive utility, you are able to evaluate the status of WCF services. Moreover, you have the option to write necessary scripts from scratch.
WCFStorm
WCFStorm is a program for Windows designed to give you access to a working environment where you can set up and conduct a variety of stress tests on WCF services. It is possible to perform some actions online, or provide the files from your personal computer. Afterwards, the software solution allows you to explore the results and notifies you about the state of the selected item.
Operation
First of all, you need to enter the address of the service you want to test, by pasting it into the appropriate field. If you have the WSDL file, you may add that instead and run the procedure directly on your PC. A wide range of methods is available, depending on what you want to test. Moreover, you have the ability to personalize each one of them with custom values.
Run scripts
In addition to the service testing capabilities, you are able to run scripts on them, to verify certain details about their current status. It is possible to open already existing scripts from your hard drive, write your own from scratch, as well as configure the imported ones. The utility relies on the Python language variation and employs the IronPython environment to compile and run the code.
Modify endpoints
When it comes to endpoints, editing is done separately. You can substitute the default values with your own, or open a DLL file that contains all the necessary information. Apart from the BasicHttpBinding characteristics, you have the option to adjust other parameters. For example, you are able to manually input the size of the buffer, namespace and a custom proxy address.
