how to analyse the load test report?

hi,

I use soapUI Pro 2.0.2. I am confused of the load testing of soapUI.
Here are some questions:

1. does one thread mean one virtual user in soapui load testing configuration?

2. What do burst strategy and simple strategy mean?
     If there are 10 threads, limit to 10 seconds, strategy is burst, and burst delay is 0, I think it means that the 10 threads will run simultaneously.
     If there are 10 threads, limit to 10 seconds, strategy is simple. and test delay is 0, I also think it means these 10 threads will run simultaneously.
     What's the different between these two configuration?

3. Please see the attached picture.
    The limit is 10 total runs. Why the cnt in the report is 18?
    There are 10 rows of data in my datasource.

Sorry for my english, Thanks in advance for your answers.
I have many questions to ask.

    Hello,

    1. This depends on how you define virtual users. 10 threads means that the test is being executed in parallel 10 times at once.

    2. For information on the different strategies, please see here.

    3. The reason for this is that you hare running a loop in the test. Total Runs here means that the entire TestCase will run 10 times, this means the entire loop will run 10 times, and the steps within the loop will run more than that. If you intend for all the rows of your DataSource to be run once, you need to change Total Runs to 1, and set the DataSource to be Shared.
