Confusing script result

Ok, just starting out with SOAPUI and trying to learn my way around it and I am seeing some very unusual results with a script test step which is designed to generate a random alpha-numeric string and set a property equal to it.

Here is the code...

int chrType = 0;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int x = 0; x < 7; x++)
{
chrType = (int)(Math.random()*3);

switch (chrType) {
case 0: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*10)+48));

case 1: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*26)+97));

case 2: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*26)+65));

}

}

testRunner.testCase.testSuite.setPropertyValue('MyProp', sb.toString())


Now according to everything I know this should always give me an 8 character alpha numeric string, however here were the results I got on 5 consecutive runs...

So the randomization is all working, the problem is that I am getting a random number of characters every time.

Does anyone have any clues as to why this is happening?

    The problem with your script is the switch function, at the end of each case you need to add the "break":

    chrType = 0;
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    for (int x = 0; x < 7; x++)
    {
     chrType = (int)(Math.random()*3);
     switch (chrType) {
      case 0: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*10)+48));
       break
      case 1: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*26)+97));
       break
      case 2: sb.append((char)((int)(Math.random()*26)+65));
       break
     }
    }
