Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Web Services

Testing the AppServer application as a Web service

You can generally use two different approaches for testing an AppServer application you have written to support a Progress 4GL Web service:

Unit testing from the Progress 4GL — From the 4GL, you can access AppServer functionality directly or as a Progress 4GL Web service.
Testing from a Web service client — From a Web service client using any platform, including the 4GL, you can thoroughly test the Web service as it might behave in the environment you plan to deploy it.

The approach that you take depends on your preferences, needs, and experience.
