Is there a good, free (and/or open source) SOAP client (for Windows) that can be used to test web services?

+4  A: 

WebService Studio is great.

The CodePlex version is an update of the original version by Sowmy Srinivasan at Microsoft.

I've used Web Service Studio before for testing web services, and it works pretty well.

I am also a fan of STORM . It is free, on codeplex and has a load of features.

For simple cases you can use WCF Test Client (WcfTestClient.exe) introduced in Visual Studio 2008. Find more on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb552364.aspx

SoapUI is good for more complex cases.
