Problem in generating load with SOAPUI Pro.
Hi Ole/ Eric/ Everyone,
Need your advice on SOAPUI Pro load testing as i am having some strange experience when trying to generate modest load to test my SOAP service.
My requirement is to test this service for 25 tps and as a naive user i understand that this could be achived by setting a fixed rate load strategy which rate parameter set as 25 and max tread as 50.
I need to run this service for 300 sec so i may need to have test data approx 25*300 = 7500 records.
So here i go.
i make a test suite which has below:
1. DataPool with 7000+ rows of test data in grid which is with option to be a shared data since all request sent should be unique.
2. Test request, with parameterized test data made available from step 1
3. Datasource loop with datasource step as datasource pool and target step as test request, to move to next data available.
Now when i test this load test on local mock service running on soapui pro i acheive 25 tps but when i change the endpoints to my web service and load test it give me tps only like 6 tps....
I thought initially it may be due to network delay or any other issue (CPU, ram etc) so i decided to install soapui pro on the server itself and test.
To my surprise the results are same and now i am confused as may be i am doing something wrong.
Please give me some suggestion if i need some way to fine tune my case to give better TPS value,
Your suggestions are most valuable and highly appreciated.
Many Thanks!!
