Help on Failed Assertions on Summary

Hi,

I'm running some tests and I am confused with the summary LOADUI is giving me. I got a PASSED status even though I get a 100% Assertion Failure Ratio. Moreover, I'm not using any Assertion component on my tests. But still I'm getting assertion failures. Can you help me understand/interpret the results better? Thanks!

    The project is pretty simple. I'm just trying to test a login page of a site. So I created a web test case from soapui and run this test case on loadui. I also added a virtual user component to run the test case. And that's it. When I'm running the project at the rate of 20 users in a 10 sec request interval, everything is going fine. But when I'm running the project at the rate of 300 users in a 10 sec request interval, there I'm encountering failed assertions.

    Moreover, can you enlighten me with the virtual user component. Say, I set the first parameter to 20 users and set the request interval to 10 sec, that will give me 2 requests/second right? Does that means, 20 virtual users are simultaneously throwing 2 requests/second?

    Do you have any assertions in your soapUI TestCase? Might one of them be failing?

    Yes, that's correct. But if 2 requests/second is what you want, I think that it's easier to use the Fixed Rate Generator.

    Hi Henrik,

    Kilofajardo has merely got my attention with his post. How can the status be "PASSED" after some assertion failures? Shouldn't it be "FAILED"? Please let me know the process behind using the status..

    Thanks
