Malformed XML

To test the behavior of your service, try sending different variations of malformed XML content.

Volatile elements:

<login>
    <user_name> smartbear</username>
    <pass_word> ReaDyAP1R0ck5</password>
</login>

<login>
    <user> smartbear</username>
    <pass> ReaDyAP1R0ck5</password>
</login>

The following result reveals the required element in the login request:

<loginresponse>
    <error>element username is expected.</error>
</loginresponse>

Missing end elements:

<login>
    <username>smartbear<username>
    <password>ReaDyAP1R0ck5</password>
</login>

Missing start elements:

<login>
    <user>smartbear</username>
    <password>ReaDyAP1R0ck5</password>
</login>

Malformed namespaces.

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:demo="http://demo.smartbear.com">
    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <demo:login>
        <demo:username> smartbear</demo:username>
        <demo:password> ReaDyAP1R0ck5</demo:password>
        <demo:/login>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

For this request, use the following options:

        <username> smartbear</demo:username>
        <demo:password> ReaDyAP1R0ck5</demo:password>
        <demo:/login>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Put an extra quote:

    <soapenv:Header/>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <demo:login>
        <username> smartbear</demo:username>
