Flex Load Test Parallel Execution

By default, the test threads are executed in parallel

Are you really sure? Are they REALLY executed in parallel?
I'm using the soap monitor to monitor the timestamp where the requests were made...
I want to send 3 parallel requests and the soap monitor shows that the 3 threads were NOT sent at the same time.

Did i something wrong?

/* i'm using soapUI 3.5 free */

Try running the same test with more threads, and see if you get similar results. In practice, even when running in parallel, not all the threads are running at the same time, due to the way the operating system handles threads... We would need more threads to know for sure what is going on.

I tried to run the test with 20 threads. But the requests were still not sent in parallel.
I tried it on different operating systems: WinXp 32bit (Pentium D), Win7 64bit (Pentium DualCore), Ubuntu Linux 32Bit (Athlon 64 SingleCore).... each with JRE 1.6.0.11/18/xx
-> the same result on each OS.
The soap monitor shows that no more than 4 requests werde made each second. (beacause each request takes round about 250ms -> 4x250ms = 1s )

I'm unable to test my web service as i want
Are there any ways to configure the OS or JVM to get parallel threads working?

Hi!

strange.. can you attach a screenshot of your LoadTest Options dialog?

here it is...

btw - at this moment i'm trying to run my jvm in server mode and looking for something else to configure that could change the behavior of java processes.

Hi!

I meant the LoadTest Options dialog for the LoadTest you are running.. can you attach that?

There are no JVM settings involved here, either you have some misconfiguration or there is a bug in here..

ok, i don't think there is a misconfiguration in my jvm settings.
here is the screenshot.

Hi,

no.. I meant a misconfiguration in soapUI.. can you attach or mail your soapUI project to us (support@eviware.com) so I can check this out?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've tried to reproduce this but it is working ok for me, ie i've created a similar setup with one soap-request that goes through the monitor, when running this as a load-test as you have configured they all executed simultaneously.

Which version / build of soapUI are you using?
Do you have any scripts involved?
Can you attach or mail (support@eviware.com) your project so we can try to reproduce?
