Can SoapUI / LoadUI alter requests depending on response?

Hello all.

I am in dire need of a loadtesting-tool for webservices, that can change the requests after each response, depending on the response.

The response will always contains a specific element (with a changeable number of sub-elements). This entire chunk MUST be present in the next request made.

I have not been able to find this feature in SoapUI (I have not yet looked at LoadUI). Is this something that could be implemented in the future?

Regards
/Anders

    Hi Anders,

    this can definitely be done in soapUI; create a TestCase with the two SOAP Requests and insert a property-transfer teststep between them that transfers the desired xml from the first TestSteps response message to the request message of the second TestStep.. read more about property-transfers at http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testin ... alues.html

    Then use either soapUI for simple Loadtesting or loadUI for more advanced (and fun!) setups and distribution.

    Hope this helps!

    regards,

    Thank you Ole!

    This was truly good news! Now the only problematic step is to convince my boss that we can use SoapUI.
