There are many open-source toolkits available that will take WSDL and generate stubs and skeletons for you to work with. Some of these even have some IDE related tools that can help out and some will generate test code that you can run. There are even more non-open-source tools. In terms of established best practice, I would suggest that you base your testing strategy on proven testing best practices, and use the code generation approach that suits your specific implementation strategy. regards --oh
