Setting up a load test
I am fairly new to the load testing portion of SoapUI and I am looking for suggestions as to the proper way to configure the tests for my scenario.
What I need to do is to simulate 50 users hitting the web service at random times during a set period. Each user will have a unique set of functions they will be accessing (perhaps 2-10) methods per user.
So do I set up 50 tests with one thread each or one test with 50 threads?
I have successfully set up a test which calls a method for user 1 and made it one of the steps of a test case it logs on with the credentials and calls the service ok. I created a second test with a second user and it works fine too. Now when I run the test with 10 threads on a simple test mode am I simulating this properly or do I need to break each user into a separate test case?
