[Res] SoapUI Pro Load test runner taking lot of memory
Hi,
I have soapUI 4.6.4 and I am trying to collect statistics using the load test runner. I had set 25 threads with fixed rate strategy with max rate of 50 and max threads of 25. I had checked the Request level and am running for 60 sec. When I do that when ever I run, the memory grew from 3 GB to 4 GB to 5.5 GB each sucessive run with same settings. I am doing a simple get on our application. Also, the avg time for the run changes a lot based on the memory used. I have disabled history. I have not specified any statistics logs. Also, I have set -Xms4096m, -Xmx8191m and -XX:PermSize1024m in the vmoptions file. I have a 16 GB memory and 8 CPUs on this windows host. I see that the memory slowly reducing if left without doing anything for a while. But the request times I see in statistics seems to vary a lot depending on the memory soapUI uses. I get the best timings when memory used by soapUI is around 2 GB and worse when memory grows with the avg time being around 170 ms with 2GB to 600 ms with 5.5 GB. I increased the memory used by soapUI with above paramters since I was getting out of memory errors. The webapplication that I am testing is not being loaded with requests from any other users. Would appreciate any help on this why I am seeing such a variation and if this is a limitation in loadrunner.
Thanks
