WCF Services - the best testing approach

My company is currently looking for the reliable, secure and good SOA test tool for testing WCF services.

Our SW department has just started development of the new WCF services.

We use Web Services Software factory to build WCF services solutions.

There are two flavors of Service factory: one for ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX) and another for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

There is a necessity for testing the platform itself and also for testing all developed capability services.

Several strategic problems have to be resolved:

1)Which kind of tests do we need to perform (auto, web, load, manual…)?

2)Are there published some useful papers describing similar problems?

3)Are there any useful links or some other available sources?

4)Is there any methodology already developed for similar problems?

Our SW Department intent is to improve the whole process of testing by using best possible tools currently available on the market.
