DataSource fails to provide data in loadtest

Hi,

I've set up a load test which does a login to our application (HTTP Post + extract a security token from a cookie) and then, using the security token, fires a simple SOAP request using a record id.

As the application does not permit parallel sessions for users, each iteration has to use a seperate username and record id. Those a stored in a DataSource step, first tried excel, now switched to grid.

From time to time, the record id is not transferred from the datasource to the SOAP-Request, without any information about that in the log. It gets worse if the number of threads exceeds about 30.

I need to examine failure modes of the application, as long as SopaUI fails itself, I can not accomplish this.

I am using SoapUI pro 3.0.1

Thanks for any help/suggestions
  • Hi!

    hmm.. can you update to the latest nightly build to see if that helps?

    regards!

    I tried the nightly build of 2009-10-22.

    It seems to be buggy, my load tests either refuse to execute some of the steps without any error message, does nothing after about 80 requests (again without any error message) or fails some property transfers which worked perfectly before.

    I will try the next one tomorrow.

    I'll have to check with my supervisor if I can send you the project and if I have to modify some details of it before.
  • i have similar issues too. and using datasource in load test is sometimes so inconsistent with this tool
