Performance/Load Tests do not execute REST API Backend code

Hello,
I am facing a little problem where when running Load Tests against my Rest API the back end code that should execute does not do anything at all. I have tried running single requests in SoapUI, however when running Load Tests in LoadUI nothing happens. While it collects statistics and generates a report the operations I expected it to execute do not work.

The Website itself operates normally however my performance tests have failed to return conclusive data because of it. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    Can you be a little more specific as to what you are trying to do?
    - For example what kind of SoapUI test-steps are you using.
    - Are there any error-messages in the System Log?
    - Is there any way to verify whether the API is receiving the requests or ignoring them?
    - Is there any authentication in place that is configured in SoapUI?
    - What version of SoapUI & LoadUI are you running?

    The more details the better.

    Best regards,
    Mikael

    Hello!

    I am using simple functional tests to access my REST Web Service. The thing is they do execute if i run them once and the System Log did not show any errors whatsoever.

    What I do not understand is why single tests run while multiple functional tests do not execute. I run the latest versions of both Load and SoapUI!

    Thanks,
    Bogdan

    Are you using the Rest Runner or the SoapUI Runner?

    If you are using the SoapUI runner any error might end up in the SoapUI log located in .loadui\logs folder (usually C:\Users\user.name\.loadui\logs).

    Hey,

    I am using the SoapUI Runner that imports my SOAP UI project into LoadUI thus executing the testcases. I will check the logs for LoadUI in my home directory (I use a Mac, not Windows).

    Thanks,
