Load testing - how to simulate simultaneous requests
I'm trying to figure out if soapui and/or loadui can do the type of load testing I'm interested in.
We have a web service that takes requests from client machines, which identify themselves in the request with a machineid, and sends data back to the client machines.
I'd like to be able to simulate hundreds or thousands of machines (all with different machineids) asking for the same information at about the same time.
I tried using a soapui DataSource with records for each machine that will make the request. But that just results in the requests being made one at a time in sequence.
What I've seen with the load tests is that they can send many requests per second, but I need each request to look like it came from a different machine.
Is there a way to do what I want with soapui or loadui?
