Load test strategies

Hi, I have number of REST services each of which have several test cases and each test case has number of steps. I noticed that load tests are associated to test case rather then service or global for all services.

Is it possible to load test all services in parallel or at least each service individually with all test cases defined?

I tried to run the load test for all services by selecting the project, then Launch LoadTestRunner where on the Basic tab I left the three drop-downs with but when I inspect the HTTP traffic I only see the URLs for the first test case.

    Correction: all test cases are executed correctly but in sequence. I'd like to be able to load test all services in the same time to simulate the actual usage by the application. Is this possible? Thanks.

    Hi rafalk128,


    soapUI being more a web services testing tool than a web services load testing tool does not support that.


    Cheers!

    Is it possible to use Groovy to collect all suites in a project and trigger a load test programmatically triggering REST calls randomly? Thanks.
