Compiled list of free and working WSDL URLs.

WSDL Files

A big challenge in learning more about SOAPUI testing is first finding a good publicly available WSDL file for testing. When I wanted to learn SOAP UI testing, I had to spend more than an hour trying to find a couple of WSDL files. Most of the links provided were either not working or not supported. Hence, I decided to compile my own list of working WSDL files. I hope it will benefit other curious SOAP UI Learners like me.

URL 1:
http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?WSDL

This is a very simple WSDL file which has 4 operations — Add, subtract, multiply and divide. This is recommended for beginners since everything is straightforward.

URL 2: 
http://webservices.oorsprong.org/websamples.countryinfo/CountryInfoService.wso?WSDL

This WSDL file offers a nice big learning playground. Few of its several services include fetching the country’s capital, currency, flag (as jpeg image), phone code etc.

URL 3:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL

This super simple WSDL file provides just 2 services — to convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. This is recommended when you would like to expand and get an in-depth view of all the structures in the soap project explorer. It will be less confusing given that there are only 2 services.

URL 4:
https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/numberconversion.wso?WSDL

This is another simple WSDL file which provides 2 services. A numeric which you input will be converted into its number name and dollar amount in words.

URL 5:
http://www.learnwebservices.com/services/hello?WSDL

This is the “Hello World” WSDL of SOAP UI. Basically, it has just one service where you input your name and be greeted with a hello. :)
