then Click the blue arrow button to run.

hint: right click the content panel, click format to make the xml more user-friendly to view.

you can click the service and change the Port Url.

if the service requires a basic authentication, you can input the token here.

also you may chose Kerberos authentication.

for rest service or http testing, you may change the http verb.
