LOAD TEST - Limit 60 seconds for 30 threads -data source

Hi,

the following are the settings for a load test i designed, but I am new to SoapUi and would be great is some one can help


There are 37 entries in my excel and i am using that as data source

load testing 30 threads and wanted to run all at once without test delay, so tht field is empty

Limit is set to 60 seconds...strategy:simple random 0.5

does this mean each thread will be run 37 times(tht are the number of rows in excel) within 60 seconds?

Also the WSDL i used..it causes 4 messages per single transaction

I am confused as to how long the test will take to end because it took over 3 hours and I manually ended it

    Hello.

    I think that your load test will work like this:

    You have 37 entries and 30 threads. Then every thread will take your excel sheet and run your all test steps (so if you dont have loop there it will run only once with first row). Your limit is 60 seconds. Then every thread will keep running all test steps in test suite for 60seconds.

    If u didnt check "Cancel running Test Cases when Limit has been reached" in load test options it will keep runing forever i think.

    And one friendly advice: make a backup of your excel sheet. Sometimes happens that SoapUI delete it .

    Hope this helps
