Load test sometimes fails to execute a test run even though it is counted

I am running a load test using the Simple strategy with no delay between test runs and multiple threads. I notice that sometimes the total count is greater than the individual step count (excluding errors) and it seems the test steps for the missing run were not executed.

Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi,

    hmm.. can you attach a screenshot of the loadtest statistics table when this happens?

    regards!

    I didn't see any errors except when there was a timeout on the request, as expected.

    Some more info on this. The load test I am running contains a JDBC Request step. I ran 20 threads and the test count total reflects that. However, the steps each have a maximum count of 16 and there were 4 SQLExceptions recorded in the error log.

    Hi,

    Could you please provide us with some more details on the JDBC  Request configuration. What driver are you using?

    I am using the jTDS 1.2.5 driver set up for SSO (ntlmauth.dll in the /bin directory)

    Hi,

    hmm.. does the driver or database have some kind of settings for max simultaneous connections / settings? The error you are getting occurs when soapUI tries to connect to the database, so its somewhere in that communication that things seem to go wrong..

    regards!

    I don't see any connection settings like that.

    It actually seems to occur before the test step is executed, as there are no counts recorded and the step is toward the end of the test case.

    Hi,

    yes.. this is (probably because soapUI sets up the connection to the database before the teststep executes.. hmm..
