Software Testing Resources

In order to test, vendors will need a REST client that can authenticate via OAuth 2. There are many free and paid REST clients that you can use for testing. The two clients we use are listed below. Both are free.

• SoapUI: Besides supporting SOAP requests, it also has a REST client. //http://www.soapui.org/  

• RestClient 2: This is a FireFox extension. According to the developer, they also have an extension for Safari and for Chrome. Developer website: restclient.net/  

You will likely need a web traffic tracer/debugger. There are a number of web debuggers out there. The REST clients above (SoapUI or RestClient2) will show web traffic when you make a request. The web debuggers can be handy when creating requests via the DPI-provided WISEdata Ed-Fi REST SDK or a proprietary Ed-Fi REST client.

• Fiddler: is free and one of the more popular web debuggers //http://www.telerik.com/fiddler  

• Wireshark: https://www.wireshark.org/
