load testing a webservice with different parameters

Hi

I would like to test a webservice with high load (8000 requests per sec). I can verify seperatley that they were recieved and processed.

I can generate a file with all the requests to the webservice which should all be run once. can I use load UI to run this? I assume it would need to be across a few machines to get the load up.

Cheers
Ben

    Hi Ben,

    I believe you may need to use SoapUI to generate requests, then use LoadUI with a SoapUI Component to run the load test (unless they are very simple requests, in which case you might just us the Web Runner component).
    To achieve such high load I would suggest you use at least 10 LoadUI Agents.
    To do this, create a scenario containing a Runner (Fixed Rate or Ramp) connected to a SoapUI Runner, then deploy the same scenario to each of your 10 agents (don't forget to run the test in distributed mode).

    Distribution, however, is only available in LoadUI Pro.

    Best regards,
