SocketTest

The name of SocketTest reveals its purpose even before the application is launched for the first time. It is designed for testing socket connections, providing support for both TCP and UDP protocols.

Its simplicity is the main characteristic that makes it worth your time, that is if you are looking for a forthright socket tester that can act as both client and server. This can prove to be a great utility for developers who want to create a TCP/IP client or a similar application.

The tab-based interface can help you easily access the section you need and configure the functioning mode of SocketTest. The server can be set to listen to a certain port and use a defined IP address, allowing you to view when a client initiates a connection and displaying sent and received messages.

The client side enables you to set up the socket connection by specifying the desired IP address and port number. It supports encrypted connections, in order to avoid messages from being intercepted by others during transmission.

SocketTest also supports the UDP protocol and there is a dedicated tab for this type of connections, with practically the same configuration procedure for the client and the server.

The application enables you to manually type in or paste the text to be sent, enabling you to test the functioning of any program that relies on a TCP / UDP connection in order to send and receive data.

SocketTest can be used for creating both client and server sockets for TCP and UDP connections. It allows you to send commands and responses to and from the server and can save trhe conversation locally to a text file.
