Simulation of network service test environments
First Claim
1. A network service test system, comprising:
- a testee network service stored in a memory and executable by a processor;
a network service test environment surrounding the testee network service, the network service test environment comprising;
at least one mock client in data communication with and interacting with the testee network service; and
at least one mock support network service in data communication with the testee network service, the at least one mock support network service simulating a performance of an actual support network service while a data communication link exists between the actual support network service and the testee network service.

Abstract
To facilitate the testing of a testee network service such as a web service made available on the Internet, various embodiments of a network service test system are provided. In one embodiment, a testee network service is tested using a network service test environment. The network service test environment surrounds the testee network service. The network service test environment comprises at least one mock client that is in data communication with and interacts with the testee network service. The network service test environment also includes at least one mock support network service in data communication with the testee network service. The at least one mock support network service simulates a performance of an actual support network service while a data communication link exists between the actual support network service and the testee network service.

24. A system for network service testing, comprising:
-
a testee network service executed on at least one processor circuit; and
testing means for testing an operation of the testee network service, the testing means further comprising;
first means for simulating an operation of at least one client with respect to the testee network service; and
second means for simulating an operation of at least one actual support network service with respect to the testee network service while a data communication link exists between the at least one actual support network service and the testee network service. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
