If you want to test the examples provided in here you can simply create a php (call it api_test.php) file with the contents from one of the examples and just call it in the browser. http://somedomain.com/api_test.php. It does not have to be on the same domain as your magento instance.

For a nicer UI I recommend using soapUi. It is a java tool that let's you test your SOAP (seams it supports REST also).
Just create a new SOAP project, fill in the url of your wsdl and enjoy.

For API v1 the wsdl url is http://your_magento_root/api/soap/?wsdl=1
For API v2 the wsdl url is http://your_magento_root/api/v2_soap/?wsdl=1
