Share LoadTest Outcome

Hi,

I'm trying to write some loadTest for 4 different webservices. The difficult part about this is, that these are seperate webservices. But the outcome of one has to be used as a reference at the other webservice. This would be easy if the loadTest consists of a testCase which tests all 4 services right after eachother. But this is not what I want to do. I want to test them separate. This means that for the first webservice I have to collect the content of one element (from the response) for every run of the test (every thread, every cycle). This data should then be used in another testsuite as reference (so in the request).

I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I'm not quite sure I follow the desired flow of your requests, and how the separate Web Services are separated. Are you saying you wish to first test one Web Service, collecing the response data for each iteration, then later test the next one using this collected data? If so I would recommend using a DataSink to output the desired data from the first run. This data can be dumped to a file, or database for instance. Then, in the second test, you would use a DataSource to read that stored data and use it for the next Web Service, and so on.
