Oh, if you are looking to capture and replay messages, I highly recommend SOAPScope by MindReef.
For true test driven development, though, I just use TestDriven.Net with NUnit, since when I'm testing WebServices, I'm not really concerned what is on the wire, but the de-serialized versions of the messages. I create a Client,Messaging.Lob dll that contains the client side proxy stuff, and then a Client.Messaging.Lob.UnitTests project that uses the NUnit framework for testing. This way I can run my unit tests in batch mode (via command prompt) after the nightly builds, and using TestDriven.Net's VS Plugin for executing the tests within VS. I'm working on an article for my blog (www.donxml.com) that contains all this info, with sample apps, plus compare/contrast to WSCF (WS-ContractFirst) and ASMX. It is called the MessageFirst approach, and falls in between ASMX and WSCF.
