- The "Browse" button on the image dialog now remembers the last directory.
- Adds a "justify text" option to the entry editor. Note that due to a bug in Swings JEditorPane, this might visually center the text in the entry editor. However, according to sun, it is fixed in Java 1.5.0_06.

iTKO LISA WS-Testing 3.5 brings a feature-rich and trustworthy no-code web services test authoring and execution solution that both developers and QA/Business teams can use. The solution offers the functionality you expect from the leading Web Services testing tool on the market today - and supports all of the current protocols and unit/functional/regression tests you need to build and launch thorough test workflows against your WSDL and SOAP objects.

LISA WS-TestingTM supports deep testing of WSDL (Web Services Directory Language) libraries, and the SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) objects that they generate. LISA allows you to test these "headless" components as if accessing them from multiple web interfaces or through other web services. And further, LISA lets you directly map to your services without ever developing a test client or maintaining scripts.

Benefits:

1. No-code testing means less time coding tests and test clients, and more time testing.
2. Developers and non-developers can rapidly learn and use LISA.
3. "Live Interaction" lets you author and adjust the test as you observe live behavior from the web service, and you can continue to execute your tests without recompiling test code.
4. Use LISA's easy point-and-click testing interface, then launch LISA tests from a command line.
5. LISA runs on any client and supports Java and .NET and any other SOAP-compliant web services.Since LISA WS-Testing test cases and test runs are saved as XML files, you can incorporate them easily into your process as attachments to groupware, SCM (Source Code Management) issue tracking and requirements management tools.

Major Features:

1. No-code SOAP/XML recording/testing and WSDL exploration and test maintenance. All you need to know is the URL to capture and invoke any type of test against a web service!
2. Use the same tests throughout design, development, deployment and performance/service maintenance processes of Java or .NET-based web services.
3. Multiple roles. LISA is no-code automated testing, meaning developers no longer have to script tests, and non-programming team members in QA and business requirements teams can also get involved in functional testing.
4. Multiple systems. One LISA test case can follow a complex workflow and validate multiple web sessions, web services, and servers. LISA supports active sessions, WS-Security protocols, authentication and magic strings, so it lets you test systems just as your end users will.

AquaQuery is a free Cocoa-based developer tool serves as a basic XQuery authoring/debugging tool.

AquaQuery is based on Apples excellent NSXML and WebKit toolkits. XQuery support is provided, of course, by NSXML.

Usage is simple and straightforward. Compose or paste your XML source document in the "Source" tab. Compose your XQuery in the "Query" tab. Click the "Query" button in the toolbar and view the results in the "Result" tab. The result tab includes both the raw serialization of the result as well as a WebKit-rendered view that may sometimes be useful when using XQuery to produce and XML, XHTML or HTML result.
