Web Service Testing PluginsWeb Service Testing Plugins
TestComplete support for testing web services is provided by the following plugins:

Web Service Support
-

These plugins are installed and enabled automatically. Therefore, you can test web services out-of-the-box, without configuring anything.
You can check to see if these plugins are active by selecting File | Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu. If one of these plugins is not available, you need to run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.
| Note: | To use the plugins, you must have a license for TestComplete Web module. |
