    Create Your Own Custom API - The "Test" Step


    (Page 6 of 6 )

    The final step, as with any production, before release is TEST. Test and test often. I had a good ol' time building and rebuilding and building again because I didn't test enough. Most of my issues came up when I was generating the XML messages. I chose the XML DOM method, you can choose another, obviously. That's the whole point of this tutorial - to show there are other options outside the norm. Don't limit your work to what other's have done - if you find limitations in other methods - there's always something else, or another way. Just think - you master this and you've learned something most developers will never understand because they limit themselves to what others have already created. Lastly - have fun building your customized web service! :D
