Load testing of web services(updater)with limited test data.

Hi,

LoadUI Pro >> Load testing of web services(updater) with a very limited test data.

I am new to loadUI tool.

Basically in our project we do have two types of web services i.e. getters (read) and setters (update). The big challenge is to address the Performance Test data requirements for web services which update data on SAP systems through other interfaces.

To get the SAP test data in big volume for update web service for our load testing is a very expensive affair. Is there any way that we can mimic the high volume of update test data in LoadUI Pro with the help of available very minimum update SAP test data.

For example, I have web service which updates the data in SAP via some other interface. This update web-service requires specific data to update in SAP system. SAP needs to prepare this data which satisfy the functional scenario. To get such kind of data from SAP is a very costly and time consuming. We need to test such update web-services on my load / performance testing. Now my query is that, is there any solution or functionality available in LoadUI Pro to support the load testing with less data to mimic the high volume of update data.

Quick reply will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Vineet Kumar
  • Hi Vineet!

    It sounds to me like you want to generate data on-the-fly for your load test (which will populate this data into a SAP system).

    This is definitely possible. What you want to do is to create a SoapUI TestCase with a DataGen TestStep, and then run that TestCase in LoadUI using the SoapUI Runner component.

    Let me know if this is what you need!
