Smarty Streets Test Tool - A simple and highly useful GUI tool to test both SmartyStreets web service access and check addresses via SmartyStreets web service.
Useful and demonstrates using REST API with a Windows Desktop winforms program.
The idea here is to quickly build a useful tool that tests out all the Web API code needed to access a particular Web API, in this case Smarty Streets.
Developers can quickly test various parameters without having to poke around with the Web API in Visual Studio...
And Testers can run tests to see which parameters work and don't work.
And validate the web service.
Typically, on the more difficult Web APIs...and I've had several...I will quick build a prototype and then hand it off to the more junior/less senior developers for integration in the web code (typically ASP.NET). This works really well for the complex Web APIs and saves a lot of time.
