I'm happy to announce the availability of the 0.9.2 version of Anteater, an Ant-based testing framework for Web services and Web applications. With Anteater you can simulate not only the client side in a typical Web service interaction, but also the server side, which allows you to write tests for a Web service client.
Anteater is a great tool for testing asynchronous Web services, like ebXML or Biztalk, since it allows you to setup Anteater to listen and test the asynchronous messages coming back from the server. Using Anteater you can test HTTP responses or HTTP incoming requests by looking at the headers, request parameters, check for substrings or use regular expressions to test the body, or use XPath to lookup the presence of XML elements in the body, and compare their value with expected ones. You can download Anteater from http://sourceforge.net/projects/aft/ Please subscribe to the mailing lists if you're interested in using or contributing to Anteater.
