How to compare two Web Service

Question

I am consuming a web service into my application. Now I have been informaed that there will few changes in the web services but all methods(i.e. output from web service) exposed form the web service will not change. I have got the WSDL link for both old and new webservices. Now, I want to compare the old and new webservice so that I can be sure that we are not missing any data. Could anyone help me on the same i.e how to compare the two WSDLs?

|Thanks|

If the interfaces remain identical, you won't be able to compare the wsdls as they will also remain identical. Testing data that the calls return is another matter, but you would need to have a before and after update data set to work with.

If the interface is the same (and WSDL), from a client side, nobody knows if the behavior is different or the same. What's the purpose of the update? Performance could be improved, bugs fixed, but also the behavior can be different... The question is pretty much pointless, because -- where is the definition for being identical?
Anyway, my 5 for valid considerations.
