Abstract:

Method and apparatus for Web resource validation. Embodiments may provide a Web resource validation service for validating Web services and Web sites in general. Embodiments may be implemented internally in a Web entity's architecture and/or exposed externally as a Web service. In embodiments, a client configures a call to the Web service or Web site under test according to a Web resource validation service (WRVS) request schema that specifies validation requirements. The client then submits the WRVS request to the Web resource validation service. The Web resource validation service calls the Web service or Web site under test as specified in the WRVS request, and validates the response received from the Web service or Web site under test as specified in the WRVS request. Results of the validation are returned to the client formatted according to a WRVS response schema.
