4. .Net Connected Submissions Test your expose/consume web service at Veritest Expose a Web service Applications that expose a Web service are tested by Veritest to ensure the XML Web service conforms to the technical criteria defined by Microsoft on www.microsoft.com/net/logo, and is written on the Microsoft .NET Framework. During the test, a tool will be used to validate the data formats of the exposed Web service. Applications that expose a Web service must be accessible from the Internet. Alternatively, access to the application from the Internet can be set up via dial-up connectivity to the application using RAS. Consume a Web service Applications that consume a Web service should be submitted directly to Veritest, as well as access provided to the Web service it consumes. Both the application being certified and the Web service it consumes, are tested to ensure it meets technical requirements and are written on the Microsoft .NET Framework. Veritest will install the applications on both systems with and without .NET Framework and has the application being certified consume the Web service while monitoring all network activity of the test system. This allows Veritest to verify the application consumes the proper Web service. For more information on the Expose or Consume tests, please follow instructions available at http://www.veritest.com/certification/ms/netconnected/ or email netconnected@veritest.com.
