Blended service creation, test, and deployment environment for multiple service endpoints

A method, implemented at least in part by service endpoint simulators running within a blended service creation environment on a computing device, for simulating service endpoints, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the blended service creation environment, a blended service;
• testing, with a plurality of service endpoint simulators, the blended service, wherein the testing the blended service comprises:
• executing, by the blended service creation environment, the plurality of service endpoint simulators, wherein the plurality of service endpoint simulators simulate a corresponding plurality of service endpoints utilized by the blended service, and wherein the plurality of service endpoint simulators perform the simulation locally within the blended service creation environment without communicating with the plurality of service endpoints;
• and
• displaying, by the blended service creation environment to the user, results of the testing the blended service.

A method, implemented at least in part by a computing device, for creating a service definition document (SDD) within a blended service creation environment using a graphical service creation environment (SCE), the method comprising:

• creating, by the computing device via the SCE, a blended service, wherein the blended service integrates information from a plurality of service endpoints;
• testing, by the computing device, the blended service using one or more service endpoint simulators, wherein the one or more service endpoint simulators locally simulate operation of the plurality of service endpoints;
• and
• creating, by the computing device, a service definition document (SDD), wherein the SDD is created by the SCE, and wherein the SDD defines operation of the blended service that integrates information from the plurality of service endpoints.
