I used "Simple WebSocket Client" chrome plugin to test wss endpoint. If your websocket is using self signed certificate, you to need add that certificate as a trusted certificated in your browser.

I followed below steps to add the self signed in my chrome browser.

suppose your websocket url is "wss://host1:port1/testSocket" . Then type urls as https:// host1:port1/testSocket and trust the certificate.
