Maximum Socket Connections Reached

Hi Ole,

Could you brief how the connections are managed during a load test using loadui with a SOAPUI Runner. Is a new connection opened for each request or is a connection maintained for a soapui testcase for each agent? The reason why I am intrigued is because when we run 4 requests per secound using 20 agents (i.e. 4* 20 = 80 requests) it fails with "SocketException: Connection reset". But the server is capable of handling much more. When we send requests through java, we could send more than 100 requests at a time.

I will elaborate a little more on our loadui test. We have a loadui testcase which calls a soapui testcase. The soapui testcase consists of a datasource loop with 5 records, A SOAP request call, and a datasource loop.

Thanks,
Anu

  • Hi!

    There's a new connection created for each request. Your scenario should be no problem; I've seen loadUI handling 5000 connections. Could you please send the project to support@eviware.com?
