Abstract: The present invention provides a method, a system, and computer readable media for reconciling a web-server session state with a client web-browser state. The method involves responding to an nth request, by reading an mth session-state identifier included in the request, where n>m?1. The server then assumes an mth session state associated with the mth session state identifier.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for testing a network service. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to sending an initial request to the network service, redirecting a related request sent by the network service to an actual network service such that the related request does not reach the actual network service, emulating operation of the actual network service, and returning at least one response to the network service being tested, the at least one response being responsive to the related request.

Abstract: To facilitate the testing of a testee network service such as a web service made available on the Internet, various embodiments of a network service test system are provided. In one embodiment, a testee network service is tested using a network service test environment. The network service test environment surrounds the testee network service. The network service test environment comprises at least one mock client that is in data communication with and interacts with the testee network service. The network service test environment also includes at least one mock support network service in data communication with the testee network service. The at least one mock support network service simulates a performance of an actual support network service while a data communication link exists between the actual support network service and the testee network service.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for representing Web service activity in a user interface. Web service objects are represented by graphical Web service components of the user interface. The Web service components are arranged in a generally in a row, with interconnection components displayed substantially parallel to the row. The interconnection components are displayed sequentially based on a sequence of interactions between the Web service objects.
